Gritty Action Movie

Rating: 10/10 (15 August 2012)

I am surprised this film is not marked higher and reviewed better. It kept me interested throughout and I will certainly watch it again. It is historical fiction loosely based on fact and works very well particularly bearing in mind it was made on such a low budget. The cast are convincing throughout. The locations and photography are brilliant. The action/fight scenes are convincing. I am not sure about the Pict warrior Bimbos however and there are a few details that the Roman scholars will no doubt mention. Be that as it may the film works very well and is far better than some other big budget efforts in this genre Gladiator for example which was very lame by comparison
