An elite legion of Roman soldiers in Britannia is massacred, leaving a handful of survivors to fight their way back to Roman held territory while being pursued by Picts sworn to kill them. A fairly straight forward story, nothing too complex, just enough character development to make it more difficult than it should be to pick a side even though movie dogma already has dictated the winner. Very well played all around with an engaging plot. Just the right mix of action and tension, with a high degree of realism, especially the battles. If you enjoyed King Arthur (2004) chances are good you will enjoy this one as well. Recommended.
