“Boudica: Queen Of War” (*1/2 out of four) was a lumbering historical drama about the female Celtic warrior (Olga Kurylenko) who rules the Iceni people alongside her husband Prasutgus (Clive Standen); when he is killed and Roman soldiers attempt to seize her land and property, she leads a rebellion and attempts to lead her people into a bloody battle for revenge. Kurylenko is always a beautiful and captivating actress but this unwieldy film doesn’t do her justice. Meandering and talky for most of its running time and even some of the battle scenes feel like outtakes from “Braveheart.”
