Centurion

We can't outrun, so we have to outsmart


That's one of the quote in this movie.


Centurion Movie



It is A.D. 117 and the Roman garrisons are struggling to contain the Picts, the Celtic inhabitants of the Scottish Highlands. The Picts, under their king, Gorlacon, are perfecting guerilla warfare and are eliminating Roman outposts one by one. Centurion Quintus Dias is the only survivor of a Pictish raid and is taken prisoner by Vortix. In the meantime, Agricola, the Roman governor of Britannia wants to obtain favour with the central administration, hoping to secure a transfer back to the comforts of Rome. He dispatches the Ninth Legion to the front under General Titus Flavius Virilus, with orders to eradicate the Pict threat, providing him with a mute female Brigantian scout, Etain.

As the legion marches north, they encounter and save Dias, who has escaped. Etain, who hates the Romans for murdering her family, betrays the legion to Gorlacon; the Romans walk into a trap and are annihilated.



They met up with a guerilla attack and they have no choice but to strategise against all odds because their army had already been decimated. There is simply no way if they were to go head on with the army based on strength alone.

This sounds like how Small-medium enterprises won against those huge conglomerates. They are small but yet they are focused and if they pool their strength together, they create a synergy that can destroy the huge conglomerates.

By having a huge force, you might not be able to control them as efficiently and they might end up fighting themselves. As efficiency levels fall, confusion set in. Frustrations rise. And soon, it collapses altogether.


This movie seems to be pretty good, lots of action, pretty well-laid out storyline. But I'm not sure if all they killing might dampen the quality of the movie. We shall see.


Take a look at the trailer if you want.
