Continuity: When Gordian is lying on the ground in the arena and Marcus is above him with this sword waiting for the Emporer's decision if Gordian is to live or die, Gordian is first shown with his shirt lifted up completely bear-chested. The the next scene he is totally covered by his shirt.

Eric Roberts As Tiberious

Well, the flick took no chances. Straight forward good verses bad and with no budget, I think that was a mistake. I feel the lower the budget, the more chances one should take. They could of put something, humor, whatever, into it.

As it was, it is what it is. Fluff and sub-par to slightly par. I did like many of the actors in it, the Centurion ought to get more parts, he has the dignity and charisma foe a big budget picture.

I thought the main female lead was Alantis Morrissette (sp) for a second, lol, a real LONG face but cute nonetheless.

Anyway, a light view, nothing special, but at the same time not taxing in anyway. Watch it, enjoy what is there, and forget it.
