Shadow of the Sword on DVD

Description

Fearsome swordplay abounds in this 16th Century epic chronicling the time-tested loyalty of two friends during the notorious Inquisition. As children, Martin (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Headhunters, Game of Thrones) and Georg (Peter McDonald, Wreckers) developed a strong bond, both orphans growing up in a monastery. Following a 15 year absence, neither could have predicted the devastating circumstances which cause their lives to collide once more. When soldier Martin unwittingly becomes forced into the role of executioner, and local cleric Georg sentenced to death, Martin has to make a choice: will he be executioner or saviour?
