Hand-to-hand heretics blast the combat in an epic sold on the strength of its battles

If you’ve seen The Northman, which might be the case when the movie eventually turned a profit after bombing in theaters, then you’ll be fully aware that Robert Eggers’ Viking epic is not a sprawling, action-packed adventure packed with a number of sweeping battle sequences.

However, as a risky R-rated proposition that cost an estimated $90 million to produce, Universal largely opted to market it as such – a decision that may have led to the film’s commercial under-performance. That being said, there are several meaty scraps peppered throughout the 136-minute running time that feature plenty of bone-crunching action and spurts of claret.
