Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Released early 2010, Solomon Kane is based loosely on author Robert E. Howard's puritan wanderer of the same name. The film begins with Solomon Kane, an English mercenary, sacking a Spanish-occupied fortress in 17th-century North Africa. After easily dispatching any guards unfortunate enough to stand in his way, Solomon's men are set upon by demons and only Kane himself reaches the throne room. The treasures within is vast, but much to his horror, Solomon finds he is not alone.Confronted by none other than the Devil's Reaper, he is informed his soul is damned to hell and Satan has come to collect. Kane narrowly escapes, vowing to renounce his violent and sinful ways forever. Thus begins Kane's path to redeeming his wicked deeds and the lesson that "redemption is not always found through peace".Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Inevitably, his quest to avoid confrontation is hampered at every turn, and sure enough, this reformed-sinner-turned-Puritan must now put his violent skills to good use once again. Otherwise, the audience might actually be forced to watch a man live out a peaceful life in a monastery. And no-one wants that in an action movie.The film itself is unashamedly over-the-top with some gritty realism thrown in-between the demons and witches being slain. Its dark atmosphere and James Purefoy's lead performance has gotten a decent amount of praise, while on the other hand, the straight forward plot and out-of-place finale have been seen as a weakness.Well worth taking a look at the original inspiration, Solomon Kane, along with his creator, author Robert E. Howard.

 Solomon Kane / int_12628662
comment
The Call Knows Where You Live: Despite his best efforts to become a man of peace, the call plagues him until Solomon finally answers. The call banishes him from the safety of the monastery, kills most of the family that took him in, kidnaps their daughter and then he finds out Malachi is now residing in his family's castle.

comment
Villain Ball: It appears the Devil himself is carrying this thing around the whole movie. He sends his reaper after Solomon essentially warning him he's doomed for hell unless he changes. He orders his minion Malachi to orchestrate a reign of terror on Kane family lands solely to bring Solomon out of hiding. Then has Meredith used as bait. All this to get Solomon's soul. Instead it only gives him new purpose and a noble reason to fight. Backfiring in every conceivable way. Honestly, Satan comes off as a Super-Persistent Predator who wastes an entire kingdom to claim a single soul.

Burn the Witch!: Inverted. Solomon and the Crowthorns encounter the bodies of villagers who were burning a suspected witch. The problem arose when she actually turned out to be genuine and the fire was utterly useless. She then turned the flames on her capturers and burned the eyes out of all those who came to watch. All while laughing.

Artistic License – Military: While there wasn't so much of an English army per se in the early 1600s, there would have been badly trained (and drunk) local militias available. That Queen Elizabeth the First is doing nothing while half of the West Country is burnt to the ground by a murderous warlord with Satanic overtones is rather farfetched. (Especially since her mother was reputedly a witch...)

What Happened to the Mouse?: For some reason the Devil has Malachi summon a giant lava demon to kill Solomon, rather than, for instance, the Reaper that Kane nearly killed himself escaping from last time. Its appearance at the beginning of the film is also the last.

Artistic License – Religion: Solomon, a Puritan Protestant, prays before a decorated crucifix at the ruined church. This might be Hand Waved as desperation on his part: admittedly, if you are being chased by the Devil and you need to pray to God, a worship place of the wrong Christian denomination is the least of your problems.

 Solomon Kane / int_a8a5e4ed
comment
Christianity is Catholic: Zig-zagged. Catholicism should have been well stamped out in southern England by the time Solomon Kane is set, but the film still shows Kane living in a monastery and kneeling in front of an ornate crucifix. Both Kane and the Crowthorns are Puritans, but this fact receives very little screentime.

Hijacked by Jesus: The original novels were about a Puritan Christian struggling to understand a world where creatures and forces of various non-Christian belief-systems roam freely, yet the Christian God makes no overt signs of His existence, whereas the movie is all about the struggle between the Judeo-Christian God and Satan via human proxies (though having some non-Christian supernatural elements as well).
