Pathfinder ★ 2007 (R)

Shelved for a year and then released after blockbuster “300.” Coincidence? We think not. Violent and gory (although with fewer ripped abs), this epic wannabe doesn't even have the camp factor to save it. Abandoned by his father during a North American raid, a Viking lad is raised by a peaceful Native American tribe. When the Vikings return for more pillaging and slaughter, now-grown Ghost (Urban) takes on the intruders. Soon all the action cliches commence. Loosely inspired by the 1988 Norwegian pic “Ofelas.” 99m/C DVD, Blu-ray Disc . US Karl Urban, Russell Means, Moon Blood-good, Clancy Brown, Ralph (Ralf) Moeller, Jay Tavare, Clancy Brown; D: Marcus Nispel; W: Laeta Kalogridis; C: Daniel Pearl; M: Jonathan Elias.
