Not the most historically accurate but still a good drama

Rating: 7/10 (30 July 2018)

I'd heard so much about the Roman Empire from history class, but never got to watch many movies about it. I'd watched Ben-Hur but this was closer to the grandeur of a lost empire. Nail-biting action and suspense with a revenge plot make for a good story. A respected warrior goes to zero then back up again in order to find justice and peace. Will he succeed? Is he doomed to a premature death? Let those be your guiding questions as you watch the film. It may not be entirely accurate but it's good as a period piece. Plus we get some familiar faces.
