10 Awful Movies Vikings Actors Want Us To Forget

9. Katheryn Winnick (Lagertha) - Killers

Autumns Blood
Lionsgate

In the 2010 comedy, Killers, Katherine Heigl's character, Jen, heads to France on vacation after suffering a horrendous break-up. While there, she bumps into a suave businessman, Spencer, portrayed by Ashton Kutcher, and instantly falls for him. However, she is completely oblivious that Spencer is actually a secret agent.

Basically, it's True Lies except it's terrible. Even though Kutcher is supposed to be a charismatic super-spy, he's so bland, you don't understand why Jen fell for him. Sadly, Heigl isn't much better. If you thought the action sequences could save the movie, they are rife with bad editing and shaky-cam.

One of the only good moments is when an almost unrecognisable Katheryn Winnick appears as an assassin disguised as Spencer's secretary. The pair have a pretty entertaining fight scene which concludes with Winnick's character being impaled by a moose's antlers. The battle does suffer from poor editing but it is nice to see Lagertha kicking butt in a modern setting for once.

Winnick hasn't had much luck in movie roles (she also starred in the universally panned The Dark Tower) but Killers may be her worst movie yet.
