Based on the novels by Robert E. Howard (you may know him as the guy who created Conan), Solomon Kane is his other lesser know creation (to me in anyways).
*Spoilers Ahead*
I don't know anything about the novels or anything, but the film was a enjoyable action film. The story follows Solomon Kane, who was a pirate (at least I think he was) and in the process of sacking a city in North Africa, he encounters the Grim Reaper, who is there to collect his soul, but Solomon claims he made no deal with the devil. Now that is something that should have been clearer, as it seem that Solomon's father sold his soul to save his brother. Well at least I think he did, but I am not too sure. Now, maybe I was slow, and just didn't get it, but I think they needed to be a bit clearer on the whole soul thing.
Now, otherwise the film is a pretty good action film. Solomon Kane, fights the bad guys and kickes a lot of butt, and we get a satisfying ending, but it really needed to be clearer on some story elements.
