Solomon Kane

Actors:  James Purefoy, Pete Postlethwait, Alice Krige, Max Von Sydow, Rachel Hurd-Wood, Jason Flemyng
Rating:  7 out of 10, I didn’t have high expectations since this seemed to have gone straight to video (at least here in the US) but I was pleasantly surprised.  This is a really well done movie and it doesn't cut corners.  Purefoy has real presence although it’s extremely difficult to look tough and menacing in a Puritan hat. Kane is difficult to root for as a hero, at least in this incarnation, where he careens wildly between being epic and then damnable.  The action scenes are incredibly well staged, there's some great location shooting, and the special effects are top notch.  Again, though, wearing a huge buckle on your hat is a lot to overcome.    
MVP:  Purefoy in the title role, very interesting actor
