Plot Summary
CENTURION is set during the war between Roman soldiers and Pict tribesmen during the 2nd century Roman conquest of Britain. Michael Fassbender stars as Quintus Dias, Roman centurion and son of a legendary gladiator who leads a group of soldiers on a raid of a Pict camp to rescue a captured general (Dominic West). The son of the Pict leader is murdered during the raid, and the Romans find themselves hunted by a seemingly unstoppable group of the Pict’s most vicious and skilled warriors, led by a beautiful and deadly tracker (Olga Kurylenko), and hell bent on revenge.

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: For all its analogies to Afghanistan, Iraq, Vietnam, or wherever, the underlying thrust of Centurion is its celebration of bloodlust.
Fresh: When it comes to crunchy impalings and messy arterial geysers, Marshall's a maestro.
Fresh: Rousing if slightly predictable.
Rotten: Flaming arrows, spears, and knives have no problem finding their way to the back of a mouth. The profanity is delightful. And the general atmosphere is grim. The movie just isn't terribly inspired.
Customer Reviews
AWESOME!
THIS movie is exciting from begning to end and has many turns and twists good acting intresting story!
Rent, not own.
This was definitely an enjoyable movie. I'm glad I rented it and didn't buy it. As far as storyline goes, it's simple enough as it is, albeit having some technical mistakes. Said mistakes can be ignored so one may enjoy the movie for what it is -- a movie. The director wasn't cheap on the action of the movie though; most movies of this type seem to try and focus on the storyline and give a small fraction of action when compared to the overall length of the movie. I don't think more than 10 minutes (probably more like 5) passed between any type of action/gory scenes. It's one of those movies that you wouldn't mind watching again if somebody else put it on, but you'd probably never rent or buy it again for yourself. But, it's definitely worth the watch.
Not bad!
Very interesting movie! a good one to rent not own! action from beginning to end!
