A wonderfully crafted & beautifully acted film about the pain of loss & grief from all sides. It's rare to see a film paint such a magnificent portrait of the armed forces. This is such a film. Humbling and emotional.

Centurion
Perfectly decent Romans vs. Picts battle movie, but it lacked proper handling of the epic Northern UK landscapes. 3 stars
Follow-up - Donna liked it more than me. I think I took a star away because I've seen so many Leone movies lately, and that man knows how to work the land into his story. This film had that opportunity, but just missed it often. Also overused the sweeping helicopter shot, I thought.
