THE EAGLE (C-)

Starring: Channing Tatum, Jamie Bell and Donald Sutherland


Rated: PG-13

Story: In 140 AD, two men - master and slave - venture beyond the edge of the known world on a dangerous and obsessive quest that will push them beyond the boundaries of loyalty and betrayal, friendship and hatred, deceit and heroism. (Focus Features)

Bottom Line: If you’re looking for an action-packed, blood-soaked, Gladiator-esque adventure…then go rent GLADIATOR. This movie doesn’t soar, but if you’re okay with a way too long, half-decently acted, get-to-the-point-already, overly-dialogued, sword-and-sandals, bloodletting, wannabe knock-off then you might be on par with THE EAGLE.
