And so, the quest to avenge the death of his tribe begins, which mostly features Ghost jumping out of the water (think Predator) and sticking his very large knife into Vikings or riding his horse and sticking his very large knife into Vikings or running through snow and sticking his very large knife into Vikings. Sometimes, he runs away from the Vikings, so they won’t stick their very large knives into him. Other times, it’s hard to tell who is sticking whose knife into whom because the camera won’t fucking stay still — it’s as though Nispel believes that if the camera shakes violently enough and the edits are quick enough, we might be tricked into giving a shit.
...
There’s not much else going on in Pathfinder besides the knife-sticking and the occasional snippet of dialogue — there are only about 20 lines of it in the entire film, but even that felt gratuitous.
I love it.
