Centurion



A few weeks ago I somehow found myself looking up the history of Boudicca. That path somehow led me to the movie Centurion which is about a lost Roman regimen in Scotland around 117 A.D.

You wouldn't know this is a movie on a budget by watching it. I was absolutely star struck with Imogen Poots and Olga Kurylenko in this movie. The way they were written, photographed (Sam McCurdy. Get away from horror, you can do more) and acted was excellent. That said, the real star of this movie was the setting in the Scottish Highlands. Stunning.

The movie is brisk and entertaining. Wish there were more like it.
