nice fight for an under the radar movie.

Rating: 8/10 (4 September 2010)

Thanks for finally bringing back the action to war movies even if it's a smaller scale one. The villain that really pulls the movie to a head is Olga and omg is she scary. I couldn't believe what I was seeing half the time but i couldn't turn away afraid of missing the quick attacks & its action. Plenty of action but not an overdose of slow motion that most movies do. Felt the shots kept the movie moving feeling like it was the legions last desperations, you felt the reality of them being somewhat unable to win. But as always you have to find a way to make men feel better about themselves wen they're getting kicked. And that's when they find an outcast of the Pict tribesmen. This outcast is a fine beauty who helps the remaining crew survive & rest up. This movie doesn't lack in emotional depth like most war movies seem to do. It slowed down enough & shared enough halfhearted laughs to feel for these guys. In another form, this movie somewhat reminded me of a robin hood story since no one seemed to know who & what they were fighting 4. These men were betrayed & some betrayed some in the group, but the select few stuck together like Saving Private Ryan men. Music was off and on & kept it somewhat current but laid in the old dungeon like industrial feel to it. Overall, i got more out of it than i thought even with the narrating voice of the Quintus, that was the genius behind the film.
