Review of The Legion

The Legion (2020)
8/10
Reminds Me Of 1917
11 May 2020
The script was solid, although it made me wonder if they used the equivalent of the f-word so often in Roman times.

It's misleading to headline Mickey Rourke, who is a great actor, for The Legion as he had relatively little screen time, and Bai Ling had even less than his. I also would have titled the film Noreno, the Roman soldier in which the movie was really about.

This movie will probably get panned partly because of its production value (e.g., low-quality CG effects work, a few undesirable shaky camera shots), but overall I liked it because of the story. It's kind of like 1917 but about the Roman Empire.
