| User ReviewIngemar VFilmen gir et fint inblikk i middealderen og kirkens ignorante tankegang under inkvisijonen. Praktfult. |
| User Reviewparker lEvery one needs to see this movie. Nikolaj Coster-Waldau is a big name waiting to happen. |
| User ReviewPrivate UGood movie. Very realistic and historically accurate. Some pretty gruesome scenes though. |
| User ReviewLam YThe only part I don't like is the ending... But still a good film... |
| User ReviewOlave BNikolaj is good in the film. However, the story is a little bit dry, and the struggle between friendship, religion, and the society is far too weak to be demonstrated in this film. |
| User ReviewLorenzo VThis movie was interesting. I didn't expect it to be as violent and grim as it ended up being. It did lose it's focus somewhere during the middle of the film which hurt it immensely. There are some abandoned sub plots that just don't go anywhere and a little tightening up would have made this a better movie. Original concept I have to say. |
| User ReviewPeter EInteresting premise in that the local executioner is the hero of the story. Nikolaj Coster-Waldau is good. |
| User ReviewTeija Ri liked it. when i found it i didnt expect it to be any good, because i had never heard of it. |
| User ReviewKurt BMarred only by an inadequate budget and some of the supporting performances, this historically accurate drama works thanks to the fact that Coster-Waldau, Shrapnel and Berkoff add a realism to the storyline that Aeby failed to. |
| User ReviewGreg WGood action, and story but isn't perfect. But it's interesting and entertaining, and that's plenty. I liked this movie, and those with an interest in drama, history, or both will find something there for them, too. |
