Although the cast of this movie is rather good, I cannot help but to feel that they can't express their worth as actors with the script and plot given to them. In many ways the movie a weak sibling of Gladiator filled with clichés and a especially pretentious plot. Though many parts of the movie are visually pleasing, there are shots and VFX instances that are noteworthy bad too. You're sort of dragged in many directions all at once with goods and bads. I have to admit that I was quite entertained the first time I watched it, however watching it again left me with a confident feeling that this overall isn't a very good movie.

Let's just get this out of the way: This is not a Hollywood production. It's not going to have the same quality as most A-list movies. However, for a Norwegian production it exceeded my expectations.

Sure, some of the dialog is pretty bad, and the plot is sometimes kind of 'meh' but I thought the visual effects were top notch, the military effects were incredibly realistic and the implementation of the movie into the Norwegian scene was outstanding.

It's very far from perfect, but it's also in my opinion far from horrible. Again, for a Norwegian production. The movie is currently breaking several Netflix watchtime records for an international feature and I like to think it's for a reason.

I don't understand why there are so many bad reviews, but the overall rating should speak for itself.

I found this to be surprisingly good for a Norwegian production. Is it the same quality you'd see over seas? Surely not, but I would still recommend it.
