Entertainment Reviews:
Bell's inscrutability ups the tension, and Tahar Rahim, electrifying in UN PROPHETE, makes a formidable, Rome-hating Seal Prince.
Los Angeles Times
Basically, this is a buddy-cop comedy about imperialism and mud.

Rating: 3/5 --
As culture clashes go, this one should be filed under rout.
London Evening Standard
3 stars out of 4 -- THE EAGLE is a rip-snorting adventure tale of the sort made before CGI....Here we see for the most part the actual actors trekking through real locations, instead of quasi-animation.
Chicago Sun-Times
Rating: 3/5 --
Has all the ingredients of a terrific adventure thriller: an epic quest narrative, strong characters, the tangled interplay of pride, loyalty and masculinity.

A boring Roman Top Gun.

Rating: 2.5/5 --
like many modern war films, it gets too introspective on the horrors of war and the uncertain righteousness of any one side

Product Description:
Academy Award-winning director Kevin MacDonald re-teams with THE LAST KING OF SCOTLAND screenwriter Jeremy Brock for this historical epic set in second century Britain and following young centurion Marcus Aquila on his quest to solve the mystery of the missing Ninth Legion. The year is 135 A.D. It's been 15 years since the Ninth Legion went missing in the mountains of Scotland, and it's up to Marcus Aquila (Channing Tatum) to find out what happened. His own father was the commander of the Ninth, and by discovering what fate befell the fearless leader, Aquila could restore his failing reputation. Crossing Hadrian's Wall and navigating the treacherous highlands of Caledonia won't be easy though, especially since Aquila's only traveling companion is his British slave, Esca (Jamie Bell). Along the way, Aquila will attempt to make peace with his father's memory as he and Esca confront the savage tribes of the land and attempt to recover the lost legion's golden emblem -- the treasured Eagle of the North. Donald Sutherland and Mark Strong fill out the rest of the starring cast.
