Running time: 104 mins. Starring: James Purefoy, Pete Postlethwaite and Rachel Hurd-Wood. Director: Michael J Bassett.

Michael J Bassett writes and directs this historical action adventure based on the character created by Robert E Howard.

In the battle for England’s glory in the 16th century, Solomon Kane (James Purefoy) and his men leave nothing but death and destruction in their wake.

During an expedition his men are slain one by one by demonic creatures and the only way Solomon can escape is to renounce violence and his sins.

But he is soon tested. Cartoon-style action ensues.
