Viking

"Viking" (2016) — watch online on iFILM. Andrei Kravchuk's Russian historical action drama about the years before a bastard prince becomes Vladimir the Great, Baptizer of Rus.

A Grand Duke killed his brother — accident or not, the blood debt holds. The law says the bastard must avenge him. He refuses. That refusal costs him rank, home, and the people around him. Danila Kozlovsky plays the young man caught between survival and conscience, alongside Svetlana Khodchenkova, Alexandra Bortich, Igor Petrenko, Maxim Sukhanov, and Anton Adasinsky.

Shot over months in genuine Russian winter on a budget of roughly $20 million — exceptional scale for domestic cinema at the time — "Viking" is less about battlefield glory than the cost of refusing to kill. The ambition shows. Stream "Viking" online on iFILM.
