In the 9th century, a group of Vikings, is approaching Britain, aiming to plunder the rich monasteries in the north of the island. But their ship gets caught in a storm and is smashed to pieces on the rocks off the coast of Scotland, the only part of Britain without any Viking settlements. When the daughter of the Scottish King by chance falls into Viking hands, they see the opportunity for demanding a large ransom. The King immediately sets his 'wolfpack' a group of mercenaries well known for their savagery on them. The Northmen with their hostage now have to force their way through the rough highlands, where they meet the brave and mysterious Christian monk Conall (Ryan Kwanten). Having the wolfpack close on their heels, a desperate race against time begins. A battle over life and death...

Review :
DAMN IT ASBJORN. I' M A WARRIOR NOT A CLIMBER!
A small boat full of exiled Vikings get marooned on Scotland, which doesn't want them either. Asbjorn (Tom Hopper) leads the group who happen to defeat a troop of soldiers and capture the princess (Charlie Murphy) the film's sole eye candy. They plan to ransom her off to her father for enough money to buy their way into a Viking settlement in the south. The plans go bad when they find out the rescue army wants to kill the princess, which they claim are the orders of the King. The Vikings are aided by a fighting monk (Ryan Kwanten) with a staff. Oh yes the princess can read the ground too. Ed Skrein leads the Scots who appear to be one chromosome away from Orcs.
The film consists of Vikings running away from Scots, getting caught by Scots, fighting Scots and running away from Scots. The love story doesn't develop. The fight scenes weren't bad, but not memorable. Acting isn't bad for people who grunt.
Guide: No swearing, sex, or nudity. Charlie Murphy cleavage. Tom...
I wont steer you wrong
Do not watch this as a serious Viking lore movie. Watch it as a Vikings/Conan film. So much of Middle Earth and the old Conan style fantasy is present and glorious. Plus one of the towers in the movie looks like a tower in skyrim. This is DnD, with a perfect party. Monk/Cleric, Magic User or Druid, a few fighters a barbarian, thief and ranger. Watch it with the right mindset and this thing is Gold.
If You're Looking To Pass Time Until VIKINGS Returns To TV, Then Here's A Reasonable Substitute: NORTHMEN
If you’re looking for something to pass-the-time while waiting for the next big action franchise to come along, then you could do far worse than popping in a disc of NORTHMEN – A VIKING SAGA for an evening’s entertainment. It won’t have the character depth of, say, the History Channel’s exceptional VIKINGS program; and it definitely won’t have all of the spectacular spit-polish of HBO’s GAME OF THRONES. But it will have some passable performances crafted together into an occasionally blood, brutal affair, so there’s something to be said for celebrating this smaller picture.

If you’re the type of reader who prefers a review entirely spoiler-free, then I’d encourage you to skip down to the last three paragraphs for my final assessment.
