- AD 117. The Roman Empire stretches from Egypt to Spain, and East as far as the Black Sea. But in northern Britain, the relentless onslaught of conquest has ground to a halt in face of the guerrilla tactics of an elusive enemy: the savage and terrifying Picts. Quintus Dias (Fassbender), sole survivor of a Pictish raid on a Roman frontier fort, marches north with General Virilus' (West) legendary Ninth Legion, under orders to wipe the Picts from the face of the earth and destroy their leader Gorlacon. But when the legion is ambushed on unfamiliar ground, and Virilus taken captive, Quintus faces a desperate struggle to keep his small platoon alive behind enemy lines. Enduring the harsh terrain and evading their remorseless Pict pursuers led by revenge-hungry Pict Warrior Etain (Kurylenko), the band of soldiers race to rescue their General and to reach the safety of the Roman frontier.
- Britain, A.D. 117. Quintus Dias, the sole survivor of a Pictish raid on a Roman frontier fort, marches north with General Virilus' legendary Ninth Legion, under orders to wipe the Picts from the face of the Earth and destroy their leader, Gorlacon.
- This is a straight forward tale of a band of Roman soldiers being hunted down by Pict warriors in the stunning surroundings of the Scottish mountains.<br/><br/>Whilst the dialogue and script won't exactly win any Oscars, the film was entertaining enough with plenty of blood & guts fighting scenes.<br/><br/>Olga Kurylenko was actually quite convincing in her portrayal of a brutal ice cold warrior, much better than Keira Knightley's portrayal of a female warrior in King Arthur. Perhaps Olga not having to utter a word in the entire film as she portrays a Pict who had her tongue cut out was a clever way to make her character more cold and mysterious.<br/><br/>I wouldn't quite go as far as one of the previous posters who describes the first major battle scene on a par with the opening scene in "Gladiator". Indeed some of the small criticisms I would level would be the use of very fast action shots during some of the fight scenes, i.e the camera motion is faster than your eye can register, think opening car chase in "Quantom of Solace" and you get the picture.<br/><br/>What really stands out in the film though is the stunning back drop of the Scottish mountains, It's like "Highlander" all over again only better!<br/><br/>Centurion, doesn't carry the "epic" status as other movies like "Gladiator","Braveheart" or "Kingdom of heaven", no it's on a much smaller scale and doesn't really spend too much time on character development on either the Pict or Roman sides. I suppose in a way it helps this film as it doesn't get bogged down in lengthy dialogue, but concentrates more on action.<br/><br/>Whilst this film won't score too highly on the originality stakes, it's a good effort in an all too neglected genre.
- hmmmmmmm, not sure about this one. A good quantity of blood splatter every time a sword strikes and some nice cinema photography, not much else i'm afraid...... The Story is quite frankly just stupid,I can see historians choking on their cup of tea! Some big leaps of faith are needed for the viewer to keep watching without saying what the f*$£"k. My advice is not to think about things as you watch it, maybe drink a few beers first and just enjoy the sword play such as it is. They seemed to put all the effort into blood splatter effects and not so much into choreographing the fight scenes though some scenes were good. I will say the right actors were in place and did there best. The film was entertaining as I was able to switch my brain off for most of the film! Not bad at all for an English film going by recent efforts!<br/><br/>For future ref to film makers hunters on horseback catching up to their prey and loosing them several times is not very realistic, these boys must have been olympic runners or something......<br/><br/>One final point, why were the romans the heroes of the film? it seems there's a lot of Brit bashing going on in films these days. You'd think as England once had an empire spanning half the world, being an island race we have also defended against virtually every nation in Europe trying to invade us in ancient times and modern - some interesting stories there - there should at least be a few modern movies where the Brits are not the villains!!!!!
- A gritty, brutal chase movie that's more about swords (and spears, and axes) than sandals - although it could have done with a lot more character-meat on those bones.
