Dove guardare Centurion
- Peter Kupchunos27 agosto 2025Good, tight script, fine actors, good action sequences, all taking place in picturesque locations. Just a good, bordering on great movie.
- Shaydeknight24 agosto 2026Centurion is a good period film. Neil Marshall builds a genuinely convincing atmosphere for the era, and the historical slips that do creep in are unlikely to trouble anyone but the most dedicated pedant. Roman cavalry using stirrups, an army marching without scouts or any real effort to secure high ground, ornate bracers straight out of a 1950s gladiator picture: these are the sorts of details that only reveal themselves under close scrutiny, and I doubt most viewers will clock any of them. Michael Fassbender does quite a good job in the lead. The film arrived at an interesting juncture in his career, right as Hollywood was still working out where to place him. His performance as Bobby Sands in Hunger had put him on the map, which in turn opened the door to Inglourious Basterds in 2009, a role that, thanks to a famously memorable "faux pas" scene, pushed him firmly into the front rank of actors to watch. Centurion arrived in 2010, effectively a test of whether audiences would accept him carrying an ensemble piece, a year before X-Men: First Class handed him a much larger ensemble within an established franchise and confirmed his path to stardom. Here, even though the film is very much an ensemble effort, Fassbender gets to lead and shine as a charming, decent protagonist. He doesn't steal the show outright, but he demonstrates real physicality, evident commitment to the role, and a knack for calm, commanding screen presence. The rest of the cast does a wonderful job of keeping the story moving along with him. Where the film stumbles is in its battlefield gore. A great deal of it plainly relies on CGI, with blood spurting and showering in a manner that draws attention to itself as a visual effect rather than disappearing into the action. It comes across as gratuitous and, worse, noticeable, which makes it harder to suspend disbelief and stay immersed. This is a little surprising given that Marshall has said around ninety per cent of the film's wound and gore effects were achieved practically on set, using upwards of two hundred litres of fake blood. Whatever the ratio behind the scenes, the CGI sprays that do appear are the ones that stick out, and they undercut a lot of otherwise strong practical work. The plot is solid, though its basic shape has echoes of Deliverance or O Brother, Where Art Thou?: a group of men who have done something find themselves hunted, and the bulk of the film becomes a matter of watching them hide, flee, and occasionally fight back. It's not a bad structure, but the Romans do seem oddly lacking in tactical sense as they're run down time after time by a pursuing force of perhaps half a dozen Picts. Imogen Poots is lovely here, stunning and entirely natural in her role, which makes it something of a shame that such an unfortunate name belongs to such a gorgeous and talented young woman. She put me in mind, for whatever reason, of Beatie Edney playing Heather MacLeod in Highlander. All told, Centurion is a good watch for anyone partial to sword-and-sandal films. It plays as an updated peplum picture, carried by a rising star, backed by solid production values, and offering its own answer to the old question of what became of the Ninth Legion.
- The Gutter Monkey16 marzo 2025It's like a second-century version of Deliverance. Only with more gore and violence that takes precedence over its script.
- Anthony Galindo28 febbraio 2026It's ok. Not bad. Just another hack and slash
