I wanted to give this film 3 1/2 stars, as it's a 7 out of 10 for me. I love films about the Roman Empire, and this is a good one with a good story. I like the tension in the story line,without giving away the plot, but it's tense at times not knowing what people will do. It looks great in HD and is a good Bluray for 7quid. It's not the best film of the year, but very enjoyable and worth a watch ;)
