Entertainment Reviews:
A massive production with some stunning visuals....CENTURION is part heroic mission film, part curious wartime picaresque.
Movieline
Writer-director Neil Marshall shoots his head-to-head combat violence in jittery Strobo-Vision....The eruptions of red serves as welcome compositional elements...

Centurion follows the Roman army's infamous Ninth Legion as it moves forward from Hadrian's wall into Scotland to destroy the Picts, a violent and barbarous race that plagued the Romans throughout their time in Britain.

Riveting. Pulsating. An action-packed Roman thrill ride from start to finish.

Quickly establishes itself as refreshingly superior to the standard, run-of-the-mill "swords and sandals epic."

Centurion wraps itself in talk of duty and honor, but really it's just another cinematic death-trip.

Product Description:
A Roman soldier (Michael Fassbender) leads a small band of troops on a mission to rescue a key Roman general after becoming trapped in the territory of their sworn enemies in this period action-adventure film from director Neil Marshall (THE DESCENT, DOOMSDAY). The year is A.D. 117. Despite the growing strength of the Roman Empire, a fierce tribe known as the Picts has prevented Hadrian's armies from conquering northern Britain. The Picts offer a devastating display of their guerilla power when they raid a Roman frontier fort, and Quintus just barely manages to escape with his life. Thirsting for revenge, Quintus joins General Virilus' Ninth Legion as the squadron begins traveling north on a mission to find and kill Gorlacon, the leader of the Picts. That mission is complicated when the Ninth Legion is ambushed and General Virilus is captured, leaving his men stranded behind enemy lines. Now, as the Quintus and the surviving members of the Ninth Legion are hunted from the shadows, they prepare to make one last, desperate bid to save General Virilus and reach the Roman frontier before being captured or killed by the Picts.
