Based on the famed epic poem, Beowulf and Grendel tells the astonishingly dull and hopelessly irrelevant story of a legendary warrior named Beowulf who must hunt down and kill a murderous troll before it does any more damage. Review by David Nusair.
Gerard Butler is a vision of unconflicted Viking charisma. By William Arnold.
Offers a short synopsis, star bios and movie stills.
It's intended as a cautionary tale about needless military intervention, as well as a commentary on the danger of making sweeping moral assumptions in foreign policy -- especially when dealing with trolls.
