Heads Will Explode in the New Centurion Clip

Thanks to Comingsoon.net we now have a new clip from Neil Marshall’s Centurion. The clip is a tad gruesome but definitely sets the tone for the film by matching the bloody era which it is set in. We reviewed the film way back in April, it’s odd to see the US release lagging so far [...]
