Centurion
She should have killed all the Romans. Rome has also lost legions before and it didn’t result in them being attacked on all sides so the ending was a bit of a stretch

Centurion
I was intrigued by the film's historical premise and action-packed sequences. Directed by Neil Marshall and starring Michael Fassbender, Dominic West, and Olga Kurylenko, Centurion explores the disappearance of the Roman Empire's Ninth Legion in Caledonia.
