| Tracks | What happened to The 13th Warrior# Directed by John McTiernan (Die Hard), the tale of young Arab ambassador Ahmahd ibn Fahdalan (Antonio Banderas), banished from his homeland for loving the wrong woman. On his journeys he associates with a ragtag group of Vikings who are travelling back to their homeland to confront a nefarious threat that's cloaked in such superstitio they're forbidden to speak its name. It is prophesied by a witch doctor th warriors must confront the evil from the north. Suddenly Banderas is forced into the breach, somewhat agai his will. More poet than battle-worn warrior, he must not only fight the aggressors but come to terms with the unfamiliar Norse culture. What follo a vigorous and brutal adventure reminiscent of Kurosawa's Seven Samurai. Sumptuous and invigorating battle sequences fill the screen from beginning end as the brave Norsemen battle insurmountable odds. Sounds good. So why this film, once known as the Eaters of the Dead, sit on studio shelves for years# Presumably because of the thoughtless editing that trimmed down the to its bare bones, crafting an actionfest out of an epic. It's not often t you crave for a movie to be longer, but The 13th Warrior would have benefi from fleshing out of its subplots and characters. On the surface it's good candy with some fine pulse-quickening moments, and Banderas and the accompanying cast turn in sympathetic performances, epitomising camaraderi the face of impending doom. However, if you're looking for a good thematic from the Dark Ages (akin to Braveheart), you may be disappointed. --Jeremy Storey (www.amazon.co.uk) (ct) |
