Well the action scenes were well shot

Rating: 5/10 (8 September 2010)

This started out really well, than just became boring. The first 10 min of this movie actually had a interesting story or at least was a good build up. Than it just became a story of how the Ninth Legion trying to escape the wrath of vengeance from the picts. There weren't any epic battles either, there is a scene where it was suppose to be over 3000 Romans in the Ninth Legion fighting the picts, but that was the only highlight of this film. After that the surviving Romans on the run from the picts. There are some good scenes here and there about loyalty and honor, but most of it is composed of boring chase scenes. I liked Olga Kurylenko playing Etain who is a tracker, but even that didn't make any sense sometimes. So she can track them from miles away but can't find them when they are right near her? It's disappointing to see a film that starts out with potential later go to waste. On the positive I thought the action sequences were well shot and you can actually tell what the hell is actually going on.
5.8/10
