Review of Centurion (2010) by Roland H — 19 Jan 2014

I enjoyed Centurion.

Beyond the gratuitous gore, It was well conceived and delivered.

Until near the end where it felt they ran out of money and simply got it over with.

Also, I detest the recent trend of "everybody dead!!" in film.

I understand the predictable ebb and flow of movies, how certain characters can be immediately pegged to survive, whereas others, usually gruff unyielding at first, sacrifice themselves for the company.

I actually appreciate and depend on that formula.

Don't kill off the cook, that came up unexpectedly and astonished everyone with battle and survival skills!! That guy gets to live, you dolt!!

Unless...you're going to kill everyone, leaving me to wonder why I bothered joining this march to abject depression.

"Get them home, Centurion." Your oath, your honour.

...yea, not so much.

I got some Welsh witch waiting for me in the woods.

The End.
