Solomon Kane doesn't suit the movie format. Honestly I think this would've been a lot better of made into a video game, or kept where Robert E . Howard created him. Solomon is a haunted evil man, killing, stealing and burning everything that comes in his way in the late 17th century. When the devil sends for his soul, he rejects and tries to change in order to redeem himself.
Of course violence follows him, forcing him back into the path of evil. We follow Solomon in the haunted land of Malachi, a cruel sorcerer keeping the people down. It's all a mixture of fantasy, violent fight scenes action style, religion and his inner battle of his own soul based on the way he's lived his life. It never gets very interesting, it never become anything but predictable and like everything else the ending was both weak and predictable. I give Solomon Kane some points for the decent acting, but overall I stay annoyed they didn't realize this ain't movie stuff.
