Solomon Kane is an action film based on the Robert E Howard novel. The story follows our title character Solomon Kane, a pirate and a rogue who encounters a demon who wants his soul. Kane barely escapes and locks himself away in a monastery. But soon the evil follows him to England. Kicked out by the monks Solomon travels the country side of England and soon is taken in by a Puritan family who are on their way to the English coast to sail to the Americas. The family is ambushed, by an evil warlord who has dark connections to the demon Kane fears. The family is slaughtered excepts for the nubile teen daughter, who Solomon must now attempt to save and risk his soul in the process.
This is actually a pretty good movie. Quite a lot of action and violence. James Purefoy gives a very good performance as Solomon Kane and spends most of the movies, either drenched in rain, blood or mud and usually all three at once. This is kind of hard to find, but well worth a look if you like period action films.
