If you haven’t seen anything Neil Marshall has directed before – good. Centurion is the best way to acquaint yourself with his work. Set in the 2nd Century, Michael Fassbender is a Roman soldier stationed in Britain at the end of the Roman occupation, fighting time and some seriously scary Picts, in particular their relentless tracker played by Olga Kurylenko, to rescue his general (Dominic West) from a horrible fate. The film was shot on location in snowy Scotland and looks fantastic. The script is exciting and romantic, the action is bloody and the cast is terrific. Think Expendables in togas.
