Prince Amleth is on the verge of becoming a man when his father is brutally murdered by his uncle, who kidnaps the boy's mother. Two decades later, Amleth is now a Viking who raids Slavic villages.

This movie was pretty epic. It's such a straightforward story, easy to relate to and yet original in the way it's presented. No overdone, over the top CGI and no crazy twist. It's pretty good and made me feel what they felt. Great actors, great cinematography!

Another Hamlet story that actually warps the concept and makes the audience question which side is actually in the right. I used the term "right" very Loosely considering both factions are beyond morally reprehensible
