CENTURION is set during the war between Roman soldiers and Pict tribesmen during the 2nd century Roman conquest of Britain.

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.

Centurion seems to have been well received….lots of fight scenes and garish blood spiced up with a terrifically staged ambush-with-rolling-
fireballs that seems to have ticked all the boxes.An Epic without the Epic
budget of Gladiator some may say. A distinctive visual experience that makes for a very strong anti-war statement even though it is gratuitously violent at the same time.
