This movie about the Swiss archer who famously shot an apple from the head of his own son is not thine father’s period drama. Instead, British director Nick Hamm is injecting the 14th century with plenty of contemporary action-thriller edge as The Northman’s Claes Bang takes up the crossbow as the hitherto peace-loving marksman and does battle with the Austrian Empire. Jonathan Pryce, Ben Kingsley and Connor Swindells co-star. Expect some of the slowest reloads in action-movie history.
