Written and directed by Michael J. Bassett, based on the pulp characters created in 1928 by Robert E. Howard, Solomon Kane (2009) is a dark fantasy that has gained a Cult following. The story concerns a brutal and skilled 16th Century mercenary, who renounces violence after learning that his soul is bound for Hell. However, when a young puritan girl is abducted and her family murdered by the minions of a domineering sorcerer, he seeks the redemption of his soul through her rescue. Full of action and adventure, the film is entertaining throughout. Predictable dialogue mixes with innovative special effects. James Purefoy is excellent in the lead role. The rest of the cast does a good job as well, including Max von Sydow, Rachel Hurd-Wood and Pete Postlethwaite.
