Watched Ironclad last night.
Its basically the Magnificent Seven, as a mixed band of warriors defend Rochester Castle from ruthless Mexicans, sorry, the ruthless King John.
I loved it. Full of bloody battle scenes and well acted from a largely British cast (Brian Cox, James Purfoy, Derek Jacobi, Jason Flemying) and Paul Giamatti as King John. Excellent location filming and the Welsh made film looked to have a huge budget, though it probably didn't.
Recomended to those who thought Centurion could have been gorier.
