Movie Review: The 13th Warrior
Antonio Banderas plays an Arab who ends up in a group of Viking warriors fighting a mysterious dark enemy. The story feels a lot like a Lord of the Rings battle with mythical creatures, prophecy and differing cultures coming together. That pesky suspension of disbelief got in the way. The Arab learns the Viking language and fighting style by mere observation. Yeah right.
It's still good enough for a couple hours of your time. Look in Bandon for both a VHS and DVD copy and Coquille for the dvd alone.
