Looks completely stupid and over-the-top violent. It’ll probably make millions, because the American viewing audience is just that stupid. ---

My cousin forwarded me the link to it earlier today. It looks so sublimely over-the-top ridiculous that I really hope the whole thing gets made. It looks awesome. ---

It has viking girls, so I’m interested. If you like this I hope you’re watching “Axe Cop.” ---

I’d say it’s more of a farce, myself, but, regardless, it’s pretty clearly being over-the-top silly, mixing farce and 80s action movie pastiche. There’s not much to “get” here–it’s being deliberately wild and dumb a la “Hot Tub Time Machine” or even “The Hangover.” ---
