A few films have been made of the adult life of Boudica, the warrior queen who led a revolt against Roman rule in Britain. A good film on her rise to being The Warrior Queen would be interesting. Unfortunately, this is not that film: it covers that subject but is not a good film.
The central plot is okay but hardly makes for compelling viewing. Some unnecessary sub-plots weaken the overall effort (but without them the film would be too short!). There is some engagement with characters but the performances, including that of Ella Peel as Boudica, limit that.
Production values are okay, as are the action scenes, what there are. For a film on the making of one of Britain's most famous warriors there's not that many action/battle scenes.
Disappointing.
