The telling of the story of one Roman soldier’s struggle for survival at the far front lines.

An excellent movie on all fronts. Highly recommended for fans of this genre.

Imogen Poots

• 0:15 — Reading..

  117 AD
  The Roman Empire stretched from the African desert to the Caspian Sea
  But its farthest, most untamed frontier was Northern Britain.

  In this unforgiving land, the Roman army encountered
  fierce resistance from a people known as the Picts.

  Using guerrilla tactics and the landscape to their advantage,
  they brought the invasion to a halt.

  The stalemate has lasted almost 20 years.
  Now, Rome has given orders to end the deadlock by any means necessary…

• 3:00 — When in the fuck did movies return to opening credits?
• 3:30 — That’s Michael Fassbender, who I was probably first introduced to in X-Men – First Class – (2011 movie).

• 3:45 — 2 weeks earlier

  • I still hate this kind of storytelling.

• 4:00 — Inch-tuth-il — Most northerly garrison on the frontier

  • This might be fictional, but I didn’t look very hard.

• 6:45 — York — Garrison of the Ninth Legion

  • I don’t think this is York

• 13:15 — That’s Olga Kurylenko, who I know from Momentum – (2015 movie) and who was (or her character was) terrible.

  • Though I still think I’ve seen her elsewhere and it just wasn’t memorable.
• 13:30 — She’s mute.. how handy. Maybe she is just a shit actor.

• 16:00 —

  She must be a good scout if she can find your cock.

• 16:30 — I’m so glad the return to the normal time was quick.

• 21:45 — Since she was identified as a Pict, I was wondering her story and why should she be trusted.

  • 26:30 — I knew she was evil.
• 34:00 — Tuscany
• 36:00 — That back story is unbelievable nonsense.
• 38:15 — How could the guy get surprised.
• 38:15 — Kill the kid or use him as a hostage.
• 39:45 — Slit his throat to save him from torture.
• 40:45 — Did I miss the moment when the kid was killed?
• 41:00 — That fire is awfully close to the fences.
• 56:45 — Why would he have waited up there and not jumped right away after the guy beside him was shot?

• 1:00:45 — Take their horses?

  • .. or go back, that works.
• 1:02:30 — I was hoping that they would have been able to fish up the dead guy and leave him for the wolves to at least slow them down.
• 1:03:30 — Wow, I thought it would be the other way around.
• 1:04:45 — Why wouldn’t he have his sword drawn?
• 1:05:00 — Now that they have a fire, they can cauterize that guy’s arrow wounds.
• 1:05:15 — Wow.
• 1:08:15 — There were two wounds, an exit and entrance.
• 1:08:45 — Yeah, poison is what I would think. She should be asked to eat some first.
• 1:10:00 — Okay, she’s got a speaking role and can act better than Olga, so I have to look her up. That’s Imogen Poots, which is an awesome name.
• 1:10:30 — Why would they think they can rest there?
• 1:10:45 — Why, still why, do they think they can trust her?
• 1:14:30 — I wonder.. would she would be accepted back, if she turned them in?
• 1:16:30 — If she had a child by him, she wouldn’t be alone any more.
• 1:19:00 — If they were leaving, wouldn’t they destroy the fort? The Romans understood that tactic well.
• 1:20:15 — They could just stay outside and wait.
• 1:20:45 — Shooting down their hunter would be the best thing to do in the long run, in case they need to (and could) flee.

• 1:25:00 — They do have their horses.

  • 1:26:45 — Oh good, they do.
• 1:27:15 — I would have gone back for the girl.

• 1:32:30 — Yay! That is a fucking upgrade.
