Solomon Kane

James Purefoy

Lavishly staged (mostly CGI), very violent sword and sorcery yarn. Set in Britain in 1600 this was the opposite of what the chamber of commerce would produce...endless rain, constant random attacks on innocent folks, all manner of demons streaming out of the fog to kill, enslave, burn and generally wreak havoc.

The film had the usual structured format which make it work, sort of...but this would be most satisfying to a 14 yo boy. Much effort, money and skill on display but this stuff is pretty stupid, isn't it?
