Just finished a movie name "Centurion". It is a movie I wanted to watch since I saw the trailer. But I don't think Malaysia cinema had it because I never really see any poster nor the trailer at/on any cinema here. The story begin as;
Picts, the Celtic inhabitants of the Scottish Highlands, who ruled by King Gorlacon, were perfecting guerilla warfare and were eliminating Roman outposts one by one. He commanded his men to raided one of the post where Centurion Quintus Dias is second-in-command there. Dias is the only survivor & taken prisoner.
In the meantime, Agricola, the Roman governor of Britannia wants to obtain favour with the central administration, hoping to secure a transfer back to the comforts of Rome. He dispatches the Ninth Legion to the front under General Titus Flavius Virilus, with orders to eradicate the Pictish threat, providing him with a mute female Brigantian scout, Etain.
As the legion marches north, they encountered and saved Dias, who has escaped. Etain, who in truth hates the Romans for murdering her family, betrays the legion to Gorlacon: the Romans walked into a trap and are annihilated but General Titus survived & taken prisoner.
Dias & 6 others Romans survived the attack & learnt that General Titus was taken as prisoner. 7 of them are set-up a rescue mission to save General Titus....and will they ever succeed?
Well, actually they won't because they couldn't break the chain that chained General Titus & decided to leave Titus behind after the Picts realised the Romans are trying to rescue Titus. During the time of rescue, one of the Romans accidentally killed the Picts' king's son. King Gorlacon was so furious & Titus was given a sword and made to duel with Etain, who killled him.
Shortly after the death of General Titus, Etain & few other highly-trained Picts were sent to hunt down & kill the surviving Romans for the revenge of King Gorlacon's son. And this time, will the Romans survive?
Well, normally in a movie, the goods live & the bads die. So, you can have you guess.
Worth to watch. 3.5 out of 5
And if you don't like bloods squirting out, heads & limbs flying around, I suggest you not to watch. This movie is not meant for the weak-stomach. I think it might have sequel since The Picts are furious about the Romans & Romans learnt that Picts are trying to call a war with them, so, there might be more bloods squirting & heads & limbs flying in the air. =)
