Solomon Kane (2009)

  Based on the synopsis, I had originally thought I was going to include this in my Horrorthon but according to both Netflix and Wikipedia, this is not a horror movie but a "dark action" film.  I'm not sure where that distinction is drawn but whatever.  It's not like I didn't have a glut of movies to watch for the month.

Solomon Kane (James Purefoy) was a sea captain ostensibly out to further the reach of Christianity by despoiling foreign temples but was really just a greedy, amoral sonofabitch who used it as an excuse to kill non-Europeans and steal their shit.  When he is confronted by a literal demon who tells him Kane's soul is being earmarked for Hell, Kane gets religion very quickly and holes up in a monastery.  Eventually, however, the priests tell him to go looking for redemption on the road and Kane falls in with a family of Puritans headed for the coast.  The daughter, Meredith (Rachel Hurd-Wood), is abducted by minions of an evil masked rider (Samuel Roukin) and Kane is forced to put aside his pacifism to rescue her.

This isn't a terrible movie but it's definitely in the B strata.  It's based on a pulp comic created by Robert E. Howard of Conan fame and those sensibilities are evident in the hammy acting and obvious CGI effects.  This might have been amazing if it had been released around the same time as Blade but falls a little short when you realize it came out after Iron Man.
