Black Death is an independent film starring Sean Bean as Ulric, a knight for the church during the black plague. He is tasked with leading a team into a town which is somehow not affected by the plague, and determining what black magic they are doing to remain unaffected. I assumed Black Death would be a Sean Bean vehicle to get him back in period garb and allow him to swing a sword, however there was not a lot of action in the movie, and the film felt pretty short, having said that though, it was a direct movie that got straight to the point. They did not add battles for fluff, and fought only when necessary. The acting is top notch and the darkness of the film is palpable. I enjoyed Black Death and would recommend it. I give it 7 Ninja Stars out of 10. The film is directed by Christopher Smith and stars Sean Bean, Eddie Redmayne, and David Warner.
