Review of Centurion (2010) by Maria H — 13 Mar 2011

This was quite entertaining, though definitely not in the league of Gladiator or some other "ancient Rome" movies. Good actors over all, especially Fassbender as the Centurion and Dominic West as the general.

I've never seen West in anything before and thought he was fantastic in this. Cheesiness kind of ensues when they meet the "witch", ie the good woman, who looks like she stepped out of another movie altogether with her fancy, fitted dress and shiny hair.

But whatever. THe gore and blood splatter factor is HIGH: everything was splattering everywhere, to the point that it was almost getting silly. But, worth seeing anyway.
