Centurion

After blood-thirsty, guerilla-warfare-savvy, barbaric hordes of Pict warriors (Christopher Hale, Dhafer L'Abidine, et al.) decimate the 9th legion of more than 3,000 soldiers in 117 A.D. in northern Britain and take a bruised Roman general (Dominic West) hostage in this violent, blood-splattered, suspenseful film filled with stunning landscapes and savage hand-to-hand combat, a battle-weary, scarred Roman centurion (Michael Fassbender) and a handful of soldiers (David Morrissey, Noel Clarke, J.J. Field, Liam Cunningham, et al.) try to free their leader from the enemy camp and then escape from a tenacious, vicious, mute Pict tracker (Olga Kurylenko) and a revenge-fueled king (Ulrich Thomsen) after his young son (Ryan Atkinson) is killed.
