A red-blooded adventure film enhanced by supernatural elements, The 13th Warrior is packed with ultra-heroic exploits and bone-crunching action. Based on Michael Crichton's 1974 novel Eaters of the Dead, it stars Antonio Banderas as Ahmed Ibn Fahdalan, an Arab poet traveling with a small band of Vikings during the 10th century. Ridiculed at first by the lusty Norsemen, Ahmed ends up becoming a trusted comrade and participates in their bloody battles against a tribe of flesh-eating savages who supposedly possess the spirits of bears. Director John McTiernan (The Thomas Crown Affair) doesn't spend a lot of time on character development, but what the film lacks in that area, it makes up for in the richness of its atmospherics and the explosive energy of its battle scenes. McTiernan brings expertly to life the dark and menacing world of the Vikings, while Banderas conveys the dread of a sensitive man surrounded by unrelenting gloom. The film really springs to life once the carnage commences: Action lovers will find it an uncompromisingly graphic but ultimately exhilarating experience. Ed Hulse, Barnes & Noble
