Longest ski chase in the history of cinema
Anyone who likes medieval action movie or historical re-enactment will enjoy this film. It’s not a memorable film unfortunately. Sure there’s dynamic double axe battles, Nordic landscapes to admire and history but it lacks that special touch masterpieces have.

Two men carry and protect the baby son of the dead king of Norwegia across the mountains from Lilhammer. They are Norwegian Ski Infantry (Birkebeiner).The Church wants this baby dead in order to take control of the other half of the country. Inspired by true events, these heroic stories changed Norwegian history forever.

Modern Birkebeiner racers also re-enact the famous ski tour, this time around going in the opposite direction. They are all required to bear a backpack weighing at least 3.5 kilos, meant to represent the pack containing the royal infant.

Medieval action adventure from Norway
THE LAST KING is a serviceable action adventure film from Norway with a medieval setting. The feel of it is similar to GAME OF THRONES and VIKINGS, featuring a mix of action scenes and court intrigue, and it’s fair to say that the former scenes work much better than the latter. The court intrigue stuff is a bit boring and predictable if I’m honest, but the action on the snowy mountain slopes is good fun.

This film has strong production values and excellent cinematography which brings the icy locales to life. The costumes are all fine, and the performances are as authentic as you’d expect from a Norwegian production. I thought that Kristofer Hivju was particularly good but that may just be because I’m a fan of him in GAMES OF THRONES. Thorbjorn Harr, from VIKINGS, also appears. There’s also a bad guy who looks like Klaus Kinski and is just as imposing.

THE LAST KING makes novel use of skiing as part of the action which makes this feel like a medieval Bond film at times. The action scenes are generally quick and authentic, with only the odd bit of slow motion threatening to spoil things. The best parts of the film are those with the ‘two men and a baby’ theme. While it’s never quite as gripping or as involving as I hoped, this is still a perfectly watchable story.
