The 13th Warrior (1999)

For Odin's sake, give us a director's cut!
This movie joins an exclusive niche, headed by The Seven Samurai and The Magnificent Seven. Let's call it the "male warrior bonding" genre. There are any number of things to criticize about The 13th Warrior -- the plot is riddled with fantastic implausibilities and any number of historical anachronisms. But it's a heartfelt tribute to the Viking warrior ethic. Suspend a bit of disbelief and enjoy it on its own terms as an action film of the highest caliber: gripping combat scenes, excruciating suspense. And yes, as other reviewers have noted, we need to see a director's cut to flesh out the supporting characters. Too many of them were just passing through on their way to Valhalla.
