Three questions

Is Centurion scary?

Only a little. Centurion has a few tense moments, nothing that follows you to bed.

How gory is Centurion?

Graphic gore and brutal violence. If graphic gore is a dealbreaker, skip it.

What is Centurion rated, and is it OK for kids?

No. It is rated R, with moderate sex and nudity, brutal violence, and some strong language.

What is Centurion about?
