The ultimate "guy movie"

Rating: 9/10 (16 April 2012)

See it - This action masterpiece stamps itself as the ultimate guy movie in the first few minutes, when a soldier takes a leak off the ramparts of his fort only to be promptly stabbed with a spear where "the sun don't shine." Starring Michael Fassbender, this unknown gem can be described in one word – incredible. Picture the opening battle in "Gladiator," but lasting for an hour and a half. Despite its non-stop violence, the film is often poetic and beautiful. The story revolves around a handful of survivors of a Roman legion that is brutally massacred. They are ruthlessly hunted and chased through the wilderness. This gory action movie never lets up for a second, and is a must-see for any guy. 5 out of 5 action rating
