The audience reviews I read were from big history buffs, in particular Roman history. The film had a budget of 12 million and only grossed a little over 6 million worldwide. Audiences, on the other hand, really enjoyed it! The ones that watched it, I mean. Critics enjoyed the cinematography of the film, but felt that the violence took over an underdeveloped plot. They felt that the film was a blatant reference to the guerilla warfare in Iraq and Afghanistan against the American troops at the time of the film’s release in 2010. All the running around and the hasty love story are confusing! Critics agreed with me. Dias is obviously not down to die so he runs off to Adrianne, with whom he’s apparently fallen in love. The general meets with Dias and decides to leave the fate of the Ninth Legion a mystery by killing Dias. Dias’ companion is shot because he is mistaken for a Pict. They run off to General Hadrian’s new encampment in the south. Etain catches up with them at the garrison and a fight ensues. When the men arrive at the garrison they find it empty with a sign saying that General Hadrian has recalled the troops to a new southern defensive line. She protects them from Etain and then they head south to a garrison. With Etain on their heels, the group splits up, and Dias and others end up at the house of a Pict outcast, Arianne. They go after their captured general but fail to rescue him, so they escape south. Of the few men who survived, Dias is among them. Once the Ninth Legion get far enough north, they are ambushed by the Picts and decimated. He sends a mute Pict scout, named Etain, with them. In response to the garrison being attacked, General Hadrian decides to dispatch the Ninth Legion to defend the north. Quintas and his comrades are trying to contain the Picts, who are employing guerilla warfare against the Romans under their leader Gorlacon. The film follows the life of Quintas Dias, a Roman centurion stationed at a garrison in northern Roman Britain. The people who lived there are called the Picts. With a star-studded cast, including X-Men’s Michael Fassbender and Game of Thrones actor Liam Cunningham, it is set in 117 CE in the lush Scottish Highlands. Centurion, written and directed by Neil Marshall, paints a picture of the disappearance of the Ninth Legion, or the Ninth Hispana.
