"Braveheart" meets "300" in a battle epic set in 2nd-century Britain, about a desperate band of Roman legionnaires being chased all over the moors by an equally warlike band of Picts. There's not much glory or grandeur here, and not even very much color, just a lot of running and fighting and skulls being split open and blood flying across the screen. It's about what happens when an empire tries to expand beyond its tactical reach, or as one Roman succinctly puts it, "We're fucked." The Romans speak English with British accents, while the Picts, who are native to Britain (Scotland, to be exact), don't speak English at all. They always were stubborn, those Scots.
