Watch this movie for Olga Kurylenko

Rating: 8/10 (31 December 2017)

I've seen this a couple of times and while it's not a bad little movie set during the Roman invasion of Britain the acting of both Micheal Fassbender and especially Olga Kurylenko elevate it to be better than the script allows it to be.
The film itself is based on a real event that happened around the time the Romans were withdrawing from Britain to consolidate power back home and tells the story of the ninth legion which vanished. It's Fassbenders mission to locate them or the eagle.
Kurylenko plays Etain and doesn't say a single word throughout the whole movie, thanks to a brutal torture inflicted by the Romans, instead her facial expressions have to convey everything she is feeling and she handles the role with amazing skill that I never thought she had.
I give this 8/10, not for the storyline which is derivative and dull but simply for Fassbender and especially Kurylenko who shows what great acting is all about.
