What It Is
In AD 117, the legendary Roman Ninth Legion is led by General Virilus to wipe out the Picts and to kill their leader Gorlacon. The legion is joined by Quintus Dias, a survivor from a Roman frontier fort that the Picts raided.
What We Learned
CENTURION is based on the disappearance of the Ninth Legion.
What We Saw
Pure old school ass-whupping awesome.
Why We’re Gonna Watch
We’ve been jonesin’ for the historical drama that HBO’s “Rome” provided and didn’t know it. There’s been an empty space in our heart since “Rome” left our TV. This hole can only be filled with blood and battles on the silver screen. Another important reason CENTURION has our interest is Noel Clarke aka Mickey Smith from “Doctor Who” plays a part in this historic battle against the Picts.
