Varrus, give me back my…Eagle?
[WARNING]: This review contains explicit and disturbing references to the acting ability of Channing Tatum, parental caution is advised.
To my mind there have been few truly great historical action-adventures in the last couple of years and not since the days of Ridley Scott’s Gladiator over a decade ago now, have we seen anything spectacular in that mould, at least not in a Roman Context. That is not to say that the Eagle is the film to fill that void, but it certain does scratch the same itch, if not to the same extent, and it is definitely better than Centurion.
