Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 1/4 --
Centurion wraps itself in talk of duty and honor, but really it's just another cinematic death-trip.

Washington Post
The film has a resigned bitterness, hard to shake off, that feels right for the experience of tough guys, from whatever period of history, who find themselves at the tattered edge of what they take to be civilization.

... an entertaining film, for adults who are not intimidated by rivers of blood. [Full review in Spanish]

Rating: C+ --
Marshall is big on desaturated imagery, which imparts to the film's copious amounts of hemoglobin the look of squid ink.

Christian Science Monitor
[A] fast-moving, epic-on-a-shoestring tale of one Roman soldier's fight that is by turns heroic, fearsome, funny, fateful and, oh, so brutal, with swords hacking off heads at every turn.
Los Angeles Times
Rating: 3/5 --
Quickly establishes itself as refreshingly superior to the standard, run-of-the-mill "swords and sandals epic."

It's clear almost immediately that Centurion's biggest assets are its various performances and visceral, violent sensibilities...

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.
