    This is very much my type of movie.

    So sleek, so calculating, so clever, always one step ahead in its storytelling.

    Some absolutely sicko battle sequences, a performance from Denzel you can’t look away from, and overall really satisfying conclusion for Rome. 

    First time in a while that I’ve been to a movie where people clapped when it ended, and I can see why. 

    Strength and Honor.
