Warning!!! A dirty pleasure film not for everyone.VERY violent and bloody thats why I took 1/2 star off.Still its action the way I like it.Released in 2010 and running 97 minutes its another film about what might have happened to the Roman 9th legion in Britannia.The film reads more like Greek tragedy filled with betrayal,loss of honor,and futility but still rises to hope,tho dashed many times over in the heat of battle and lust to survive.Oh how general Patton might say,"God how I love it so"Little thought is required as there really is no right or wrong in this battle just the combat and thrill of the ride.The cast fits well unlike that of "The Eagle"a major flaw in that film but a great PLUS in this.It's dark and nasty and hopeless as many of todays films are filmed.In this case it suits the story well.I will buy this DVD!!! Trailer URL follows the pix as well as IMDB summaries below.Enjoy this bloody good film and the ride,but hold on tight !!
