Solomon Kane (Movie, 2009)

It's dark and gritty tale of redemption with healthy portions of swordplay, magic and conflict.  On the surface, Solomon Kane is very similar to Van Helsing. In place of the monsters, we get demons. A talky, sword and sorcery tale that is based on a character created by Robert E. Howard (the man who birthed Conan). James Purefoy is fine as Kane, a rampaging warrior who is the second son of a nobleman kicked out of his home for refusing to become a priest. The whole film plays more like a pilot for a series rather than a complete work in and of itself, but no one can make a film like this anymore without visions of trilogies dancing in their heads.
