Review of Valhalla Rising (2009) by Paul N — 08 Mar 2011
Looks good and starts off really good. Interesting premise, beautiful visceral filming but runs into problems in the second half where the practically absent dialogue and meanderingly frustrating plot begin to wear quite thin. The brilliant violence backs down and the pomposity begins to seriously grate. On the other hand it is very well filmed and very beautifully shot, although this is not enough to override the irritation that many will feel - especially given the misleading front cover (which features scenes and people who aren't in the film) and the completely meaningless title.
A disappointment.
