Centurion film

[karen9]

 

I watched the film: Centurion yesterday. A friend raved about it. It wasn't as good as he said, but still good and enthralling. It's about what could have happened to the Ninth Roman Legion which disappeared in Pictland (in Scotland.) It's told from the point of view of a centurion who is the only soldier to survive. The Picts are pretty scary;  the scenery magnificent. There is a sense of menace maintained throughout, helped by some eery music.

A woman warrior.

Of course, to my annoyance, the three women in the film are all young and attractive, even the witch.

You know, I was in HMV just yesterday and saw that movie and considered buying it; but I hadn't heard a single thing about it, so I decided not to.
But maybe I'll pick it up after all. It looks like fun.

I wouldn't describe it as fun! You should probably see it first before buying, unless it's a bargain.
