Eye For Film >> Movies >> Northmen (2014) DVD Review
Although it's a shame to see an action film like this reduced to fit on the small screen - and you should certainly watch it on the biggest one you can - it's still quite possible to follow everything in the frenetic fight scenes and it's still fun to watch. Alongside the film itself there are five special 'features', but as they're each about three minutes long even the term 'featurette' would have been stretching it really, and they'd make more sense rolled into one. Nevetheless, they're all fun to watch and they provide a few insights into how the film was made, plus there's a behind the scenes look at the death metal video that star Johan Hegg made with his band Amon Amarth at the same time. Everyone involved with the film is enthusiastic about it and gives the impression it was as much fun to make as it is to watch. Ultimately it's a pretty modest DVD package but the DVD is still well worth having.
