Barking mad, absolutely brilliant.

If you wish to watch a period drama with numerous historical inaccuracies, lame acting from a politically correct cast, scene ideas taken from other series, like 'Vikings' and 'Vikings Valhalla'; than this mediocre series should suit. Some lovely scenery of Iceland, complete with Icelandic horses, black beaches and wooden fortresses, other towns look like they are made from a canvas backdrop. A missed opportunity to dramatise a pivotal moment in history. Pity, I was looking forward to it. The use of the longbow by the Norman invaders has to be the most monumental of inaccuracies, not used until the 12th century...

I loved sniper elite 4, however this latest edition is a backwards step. The game play is slow, restricted movement, slow reaction time, unable to move through the landscape. Restricted game play area, easy to get trapped in areas resulting in death. Unable to climb when you think it would be a great place to hide. Simply not an immersive experience. An expensive mistake. Save your money and take the dog for a walk or order a take away.

Not sure if this a homage to Michael Manns LA Takedown, HEAT, the latter being a far superior movie, or a dreadful pastiche. Worth a watch if you have nothing better to do, gotta love Jason.

Could have a good film, however It lost me when a steam train going through Peru, is actually the Lancaster Fusilier, British Railway locomotive built in 1937, film set in 1906. Major Fawcett sets out on a 7 year expedition, leaving his pregnant wife. He returns to a huge crowd welcoming him, his first son has grown up, yet he is shown his new baby son. Wow that's a long pregnancy. Rather stupid.

Poignant, powerful and engaging.
