The Outlander

James Caviezel - I called him as the man with the sad face. Almost all his movies involved him in some kind of sad, down-trodden situation, most likely with tears. Maybe I am wrong.

This movie is so cliche. But ofcourse with a title like that I should have expected that the end of the movie would favor the outlander or the outsider. I bet the guy, can't remember his name, the king-in-waiting was also thinking the same thing as me. "What is this guy doing, just dropped out from no where and trying to exert his will and wisdom on his community, and also usurped the king's affection, and the king's daughter affection."

But then, this outsider or outlander as he was known to the Vikings, was the hero of the show. It's his right to shine. So, he did. He could do no wrong. And most importantly, he could not die. Atleast not in the movie. The girl would not die too. Because the hero had to get a pretty girl.

The show is ok, except for the butchering and people got eaten alive. That's just vile.
