Solomon Kane (2009)


A ruthless mercenary renounces violence after learning his soul is bound for hell, but when a young girl is kidnapped and her family slain by a sorcerer's murderous cult, he is forced to fight and seek his redemption slaying evil.

Visually stark and bleak fantasy drama within a medieval setting, but marred by pseudo-Christian ideology.

Maltin**1/2: "Good-looking, intelligent swashbuckler/horror movie with Purefoy very good as Robert E. Howard's dour pilgrim-knight."
