Valhalla Rising (2009)

Many years ago, I stood on a cold windswept beach with three school friends. We stood in stillness and silence, slightly apart from one another, contemplating the grey desolate horizon, till one of them broke the spell with the pointedly deadpan observation. "I feel like we are a U2 album cover".

Watching Valhalla Rising is experiencing several grimy actors doing this for ninety minutes... with no punchline.
