Centurion A.D.

As others have suggested, this may be a drug laundering effort as it is one of the poorest movies i have seen in a while. If this is supposed to be a thought provoking religious movie, then i can only laugh.

On a shoe-string budget Brian Reed Garvin has managed to bring an epic-sized movie to the screen, and he has done so with an obvious love and passion for his subject matter and the characters he has created.

Katherine Randolf is captivating as "Kim", a nurse sucked into a situation she doesn't understand but which starts her on a journey to discovery and spirituality. Her accidental accomplice, "Rev. Basil Mason", played with aplomb by Martin Horsey, adds to the mystery of the story and tempers the excitement and action with a light touch of humor.

Speaking of excitement and action Centurion A.D. is loaded to go, and "Archer Stone", played by the writer and director supplies a larger-than-life hero who will steal your imagination and your admiration. His nemesis, F.B.I. agent," Rocco Rinaldi", played convincingly by Vincent Inneo ensures the action will never stop until the story ends with a heart-wrenching twist which makes it all make sense.

There are numerous other unforgettable performance. The evil "Michael Reilly" played by Aaron Hammond, and the young "Basil" played by Carter Thomas are two outstanding performances. And my favorite, the precocious "Cindy Travers" played by Carmina Garay who handily disarms the hard-boiled Agent Rinaldi and steals every scene she is in.

The action and visual effects are amazing and thrilling to watch, but they will not detract from the thought-provoking message the movie delivers. Centurion A.D. is a winner and a film every family will enjoy seeing.

Prime Video seems to have acquired rights for a bunch of christian sci-fi movies recently, this being probably the most confusing, poor made, full of religious nonsense and with less actual sci-fi of them all (at least I hope so).

The fun part is that, while the others are also boring, this one is so bad is good.

The complete nonsense feeling is even improved in the italian version (which has original audio and italian subtitles): they are so poorly translated that the dialogues make no sense at all in lots of parts.

One of the best: you know that "bike" can both mean "bicycle" and the fuel-propelled thing. Well, at one point, an actor is looking to another one riding a motorbyke and in italian he asks: "are you into bicycles?" "yes, they have two wheels and an engine, what's the problem?"

without hilarious italian subtitles, this would be a 2, but it gains a whole point more with them.

I got curious about the movie based on the cover as it reminded me of Neil Breen covers. Unfortunately this movie has very little going for it.

The dialogue and story is the biggest problem as it is mostly bad jokes and religious preaching. The acting is ok to bad for the most part. Only one that stands out as really bad is the main character Archer.

There were some highlights in this movie however. Most in a so bad it's good kind of way. The fighting scenes were really funny with weird editing like fast cuts, speeding up and slowing down. Effects were also pretty bad, but it's a low budget picture so that's fine.

All in all a very preachy religious movie which is mostly filled with boring dialogue and bad acting.

I absolutely loved this movie. What a great message and great action and effects. Well done! Brian Reed Garvin has outdone himself! This movie is full of great acting and some off the wall humor. When you have a shoe-string budget, it can be hard to pull off a blockbuster. But Brian hit a home run with this one.
