RAVE - Centurion

Unlikely to appeal to the Breakfast at Tiffany's crowd, but nonetheless a solid entry into the Blood 'n Guts division.

For those of you who thought that Gladiator was a nice start, and the cable series Rome, and Spartacus were good upgrades to that, Centurion is excellent, especially if you like your Bronze Age action bloody.

Set in Northern Britain, the Roman army has been stalled for 30 years by the troublesome Picts. See, you couldn't understand a word a Scot said even in 117 AD.

Guerilla tactics employed by the McShiftys disperse a Roman army, and stragglers try to leg it down south where there's central heating and decent food.

Tight action, and did it say it was BLOODY?
