Entertainment Reviews:
A massive production with some stunning visuals....CENTURION is part heroic mission film, part curious wartime picaresque.
Movieline
Auteur cinema of a very narrow stripe, this personalizes a familiar genre to advance a singularly pessimistic view of humanity.

Rating: C+ --
Marshall is big on desaturated imagery, which imparts to the film's copious amounts of hemoglobin the look of squid ink.

It's clear almost immediately that Centurion's biggest assets are its various performances and visceral, violent sensibilities...

... an entertaining film, for adults who are not intimidated by rivers of blood. [Full review in Spanish]

[W]hen it comes to crunchy impalings and messy arterial geysers, Marshall's a maestro. -- Grade: B
Entertainment Weekly
It's a manhunt film which is not bad in itself, but the whole setting promises so much more than that and in the end the film never truly delivers.

Product Description:
A Roman soldier (Michael Fassbender) leads a small band of troops on a mission to rescue a key Roman general after becoming trapped in the territory of their sworn enemies in this period action-adventure film from director Neil Marshall (THE DESCENT, DOOMSDAY). The year is A.D. 117. Despite the growing strength of the Roman Empire, a fierce tribe known as the Picts has prevented Hadrian's armies from conquering northern Britain. The Picts offer a devastating display of their guerilla power when they raid a Roman frontier fort, and Quintus just barely manages to escape with his life. Thirsting for revenge, Quintus joins General Virilus' Ninth Legion as the squadron begins traveling north on a mission to find and kill Gorlacon, the leader of the Picts. That mission is complicated when the Ninth Legion is ambushed and General Virilus is captured, leaving his men stranded behind enemy lines. Now, as the Quintus and the surviving members of the Ninth Legion are hunted from the shadows, they prepare to make one last, desperate bid to save General Virilus and reach the Roman frontier before being captured or killed by the Picts.
