The Last Kingdom's Epic Finale: Seven Kings Must Die

"The Last Kingdom: Seven Kings Must Die" is a workmanlike historical epic that wraps up the events of "The Last Kingdom," the Netflix drama series based on Bernard Cornwell's "Saxon Tales" novels. The film opens with several smaller kingdoms gearing up for a power struggle exacerbated by the recent death of Alfred the Great, king of Wessex, and worsened by the surreptitious attempts of the Danes to sow discord. The hero of the hour is Uhtred, a young Saxon and the protagonist of the TV series, who fans will know was raised by Danes after a Danish attack wiped out most of his family.
