‘Vikings’: Who’s the man with one eye? We know the answer

YOU’VE DONE A FINE JOB. WE’LL TAKE IT FROM HERE,
The movie switches to Tobin Frost (Denzel Washington) obtaining an embarrassing electronic file from the MI6 in South Africa. “Frost”, because he is cold. Denzel uses his expected savvy to escape. He is a rogue super agent who free lances, buying and selling information. In order to escape the bad guys, Tobin surrenders to the CIA. Now the questions are: Was this his original plan? What is on the file?
Tobin is taken to our aforesaid safe house for intense interrogation.
I loved the opening of the interrogation scene. The interrogator says, “I’m here to advise you of your rights. You’re being held under national security order 600 which means you have none.”
Frost is too important of a person and the top secret safe house comes under attack. The young low level highly trained Matt Weston is now on the run with a man who is a master manipulator of people. To our list of unanswered questions we now add, “Who is the mole?”
Ryan and Washington give us excellent performances. It had elements of the Bourne series that made this story interesting, but it doesn’t quite measure up to that film. Cliche ending. I would say if you are a fan of the trilogy, check this one out.
Multiple chase scenes, torture, killings, shoot outs, minor “roof top” jumping, car wreaks without explosions.
1 f-Bomb, no sex, no nudity. Rated R for violence.
