Just finished watching this crap movie. They were 'berserkers' (there was also a woman among them).

Who were the six hired soldiers? They were all hype. I feel like they were just dudes that were born big boned and were given some kinda drug before fighting so they would be able to fight through pain. I don't think they had any real skill just big with a bloodlust mentality. one guy said they were vikings?

Vikings. It was kind of funny (unintentionally) how they hype them off as some kind of uncontrollable killing machines and say stuff like "they know no pain" and then show them dying off in excruciating pain in the next few minutes knowing nothing but pain.

The whole movie is kind of bizarre. The whole thing like the visuals, the dialogue, the acting and plot seem more like something you'd see in some high school play and it all seems so low budget, but on the other hand they do have some "notable" actors in this.
