Synopsis

The story of Scarlett Monaghan, a working class London girl with a dark past who falls in love with the dashing and dangerous Robert McNaughton, kingpin of an international diamond smuggling operation. Robert is a career criminal with a strong code of ethics, on the cusp of a huge deal with the enigmatic female fence known only as Charlie. Scarlett is a born fighter and Robert loves her strong-willed, no-bullshit attitude. They make a great team. Leaving London to live the dream together in Tenerife, they fall deeper in love while business is booming. But all good things come to an end, and when Robert is betrayed and murdered, and Scarlett left for dead, she sets out on a quest for brutal and bloody revenge against the men who destroyed all that she loved.

Director: Neil Marshall

Year: 2010

AD 117. The Roman Empire stretches from Egypt to Spain, and East as far as the Black Sea. But in northern Britain, the relentless onslaught of conquest has ground to a halt in face of the guerrilla tactics of an elusive enemy: the savage and terrifying tribesmen known as the Picts.<br /> <br /> Quintus, sole survivor of a Pictish raid on a Roman frontier fort, marches north with General Virilus' legendary 9th legion, under orders to wipe the Picts from the face of the earth and destroy their leader Gorlacon.<br /> <br /> But when the legion is ambushed on unfamiliar ground, and Virilus taken captive, Quintus faces a desperate struggle to keep his small platoon alive behind enemy lines, evading remorseless Pict pursuers over harsh terrain, as the band of soldiers race to rescue their General, and to reach the safety of the Roman frontier.<br /> <br /> From writer/director, Neil Marshall, Centurion is a gripping survival thriller set against a background of conquest and invasion; a pursuit movie in the vein of Deliverance, Last Of The Mohicans and Apocalypto.
