Better than GLADIATOR and 300

Rating: 8/10 (6 September 2010)

CENTURION is very different war movie. There are not really good guys; in fact everybody is really cruel; so even if told through the Roman's eyes, it is clearly stated that they are as barbaric as their enemies (the Britain PICTOS). It is a British movie about how the British barbarians defeated the more sophisticated (and powerful) Roman Empire. Directed by Neil Marshall (the genius behind Dog Soldiers, The Descent and DOOMSDAY) do not expect standard fare action movie (even when action and gore are usually over the top). Acting is good and character development is exactly what is needed (there are usually some dark sides left to viewers imagination).
In brief; good action and gore but a very very good movie.
