Centurion (1:37) 2010
Centurion is a movie about the 9th Roman legion lost in northern Britain during the time the Empire was battling the Picts. The bad news is I saw this movie streamed to my laptop. The movie was filmed in the English forests and the Scottish Highlands. I would have loved to see this movie on the big screen for the scenery. The good news is I didn't because this was one of the bloody, goriest movies I have ever seen. It ranks right up there with Gladiator. The actual story is starts with a small band of Romans surviving a battle against the Picts. The leader of the band believes it is their duty to rescue their general. While attempting a rescue, the Picts king's son is killed. Now the Picts are out for revenge. A small band of Picts pursue the Romans. As the Romans are hunted, the band grows smaller and smaller. Will anyone survive? This movie would appeal to a lot of young men who like action and adventure. The movie, leaving out the blood and guts, kept me involved. If you decide to view it, be prepared for the violence.
