Review of Solomon Kane (2009) by Brendan N — 25 Nov 2018
Solomon Kane had the unfortunate task of capturing an audience who expected so much more. The biggest issue with Kane is the budget, it clearly lacked the budget to capture the overall scope. Purefoy was born to play this role and he is amazing, it is just a shame this was a one off film.
The film is quite bleak and the issue here being an origin film is the formulaic story beats. I enjoy this film as a guilty pleasure and I'm disappointed it didn't garner the audience to gather a sequel or series.
Solomon Kane deserves a followup, they built a world that deserves a revisit. A good film and definitely worth watching for all the fantasy film goers out there. 25/11/2018.
