Are these really the ancestors of IKEA? Set 600 years before Columbus, this depicts a showdown between peaceful Native Americans and invading Vikings, who rape and pillage with all the sadistic glee of characters in a film directed by Marcus Nispel (2003’s The Texas Chainsaw Massacre). The movie is so ludicrously savage that it almost becomes comic; every swing of a blade seems to lop something off. It’s a historical action flick that could use the delicate touch of Mel Gibson.
