Things become tedious during the film's lengthy down times, when we're subjected to what passes for dialogue being uttered by actors who would impress more if they didn't say anything. Pathfinder, which is a remake of the 1987 Norwegian film Veiviseren, is barely tolerable during the action sequences, even though the camera moves around so much it can be difficult to figure out what's going on. Ghost is accompanied by two companions: Pathfinder (played by Russell Means, who got lost here on his way to The Last of the Mohicans) and his daughter (Moon Bloodgood), a.k.a. That's where the hacking, slashing, and chasing begins. Eventually, his countrymen return, led by Gunnar (Clancy Brown) and bent on ethnic cleansing. He is raised by the locals and becomes a great warrior. Ghost (Karl Urban) is a Norwegian child left behind when the Vikings first visit the North American continent some 1100 years ago. The premise is borrowed from Tarzan with Native Americans standing in for the apes and the Vikings replacing the English. Someone should remind director Marcus Nispel that there's a difference between making a music video and a feature film. To add insult to injury, the movie is filmed in a way that makes it seem like the camera has epilepsy and the color desaturation renders everything murky. Pathfinder feels like one of those generic '80s action films where there's plenty of violence with no suspense, lots of stunt work but no excitement, and a cast of characters so poorly developed that it's easier to care about the background scenery.
