Not a bad film

Rating: Null/10 (12 September 2011)

You do feel it's length at times.
The plot is that it's first century Britian, and the Roman advance has been stymied by the Picts. A centurion is captured, escapes, joins up with an invading Roman Legion, which is promptly slaughtered.
There are less than subtle allegories to terrorism and imperialism, not sure if they entirely work here. There are also a bunch of over the top battle scenes with spurting blood and people surviving impossible injuries before we get to the predictable ending.
It's not awful. Not great, but not awful, and you kind of like the characters and setting.
