The movie is not awful and it's not the best either. It's sort of in between. The movie revolves around a young man being left by his fellow Norse brethren due to him not wanting to kill the townspeople they were ransacking. If you know nothing about the Vikings, well they were some pretty mean people and did some dastardly things. But other than than that, that's what the movie is based one, he is going to get his revenge.
