Whatever happened to the Ninth Legion of the Roman army in AD 117 who were sent to wipe out the natives in Britain? Supposedly they vanished without a trace and their legend of their disappearance continues... and is 'unravelled' in Centurion (out april). after watching this gratuitously violent film - all spurting blood, rambunctious decapitation and hours of breathless chasing across wild and unforgiving terrain, i can say that the answer could have been given in one simple sentence and not a terribly interesting one at that. the mystery is pretty flaccid, there's not enough human drama to really get your teeth into and the gory battle scenes pretty much make up the entire film. not a girl's film. well, not this girl, anyway.
