Centurion the diamond in the rough

Rating: 9/10 (20 August 2010)

I had the pleasure of watching "Centurion" with some of my friends and we were quite surprised by Neil Marshall's directing of the movie.
The story in the film is rough and violent like the times in the Roman era-Europe (146 BC - 480 AD) under emperors such as Nero, Caligula etc.
Michael Fassbender, Dominic West and especially Ulrich Thomsen as the Celtic chief Gorlacon does a fantastic job portraying the characters. Gorlacon is merciless but yet sympathetic in the role as a Celt that leads his people under pressure by the Roman Empire.
The film is bloody and action-packed so if you like the Roman Empire, Celts and visionary action scenes I would recommend "Centurion"
