Title: The Numidian
Post by: FierceKitty on 05 March 2021, 05:43:27 AM
...or what ever it's called - the most memorable thing about this frozen turkey is that every reviewer goes on for twenty paragraphs about the subject matter in terms that would be almost entirely transferable to a short story or even a non-fictional report. Is there one critic alive who remembers what movies ARE?

The other memorable thing, alas, is that the great love of my youth is no longer fanciable or, indeed, the actress that she used to be.

Thanks for the heads up!
This is what comes of sneaking films out during lockdown.

Having read the reviews, probably going to wait until it streams somewhere for free.

Looks like a great cast, potentially great story. Sounds like they missed the opportunity to make the point about what happens when blind revenge replaces justice.

It should be a piece of razor-edged journalism, not a talking heads movie.

Who would you cast as Hannibal?

Hannibal? Pft!

Septimus Severus was a Numidian. Much more worthy of a movie than boring old Hannibal.

Proper Sword & Sandals Severan "Dynasty" family saga stuff there.

I, Septimus!

Who are the Derek Jacobis and John Hurts of our age? :)

They're more the modern Sly & Arnie.
