A BRUTAL SURVIVAL CHASE THRILLER!!!

Rating: 8/10 (17 December 2018)

Action packed & brutal as hell is how i would describe director Neil Marshall's Centurion but it's also exciting & tense & non stop!!!
Michael Fassbender is excellent as the main lead trying to get the last survivors of his roman army back home but it's gonna be a hell of a run home & the seven men are way behind enemy lines!!!
I loved the scary tense atmosphere & the bleak winter setting & the lonely cold mountains it all adds realism & grit to the chase survival story that itself is based on legend & history but with a more modern The Warriors (1979) chase twist on it & it works perfectly.
Doomsday (2008) is another EXCELLENT Neil Marshall film that's got that Warriors vibe all through it along with the tone of escape from new york,another AWESOME movie.
A great cast including Fassbender & the excellent Dominic west & a few other names but these two stood out as excellent performances!!!
The tribal hunters "The Picks" are savage & scary & are constantly hunting our small group of men & it's suspenseful & exciting.
Another excellent & way underrated Neil Marshall movie but hey i loved it.
Also i have to say im very happy that this is not another over long BORING historical epic like Braveheart or Gladiator or countless other bore fests!!! Centurion is a straight up simple survival tale with all that brutal fighting still there but with a much more urgent excitement & one hell of a chase accross all terrain!!! Excellent film that's dark & thrilling
