Redbad (2018), directed by Roel Reiné, is a gripping Dutch epic that thrusts you into 8th-century Europe. Gijs Naber shines as Redbad, a Frisian warrior king battling Christian Frankish invaders led by the ruthless Pepin (Jonathan Banks). Exiled and allied with Vikings, Redbad fights to reclaim his land and defy forced conversion, weaving a tale of rebellion and revenge.

 Why Watch? Stunning visuals of battles and landscapes, shot across Denmark and the Wadden Sea, dazzle. The action—think shield-wall clashes and tactical showdowns—hits hard. Its bold take on religious conflict, with pagans as freedom fighters, feels fresh. Naber and Banks lead a solid cast, though the 2-hour-40-minute runtime and minor plot holes may test patience.

Verdict: Redbad delivers raw energy, epic battles, and a defiant hero, perfect for Vikings fans. Stream it on Tubi or Amazon Prime for a thrilling ride!
