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...The Roman epic adventure The Eagle stars Channing Tatum and Jamie Bell and is directed by Academy Award winner Kevin Macdonald.
20 years earlier, Rome's 5,000-strong Ninth Legion, under the command of Flavius Aquila, marched north carrying their treasured golden Eagle emblem. They never returned; Legion and Eagle simply vanished into the mists.
Hearing a rumor that the Eagle has been seen in a tribal temple in the far north, Flavius' son Marcus (Tatum), determined to restore the tarnished reputation of his father, is galvanized into action. Accompanied only by his slave Esca (Bell), Marcus sets out into the vast and dangerous highlands of Scotland - to confront its savage tribes, make peace with his father's memory, and retrieve the hallowed Eagle. Along the way Marcus realizes that the mystery of his father's disappearance may well be linked to the secret of his own slave's identity and loyalty - a secret all the more pressing when the two come face-to-face with the warriors of the fearsome Seal Prince (Tahar Rahim).
The Eagle was released February 11th, 2011 and stars Channing Tatum, István Göz, Bence Gerö, Denis O'Hare, Paul Ritter, Zsolt László, Julian Lewis Jones, Aladár Laklóth. The film is directed by Kevin Macdonald.

I enjoy everything I've seen on this film thus far, save for Tatum. I'm not just ragging on his acting abilities, or usual lack thereof, but he really just doesn't FIT the part, He doesn't seem roman in the least, nor does he seem to embody the character of a roman commanding officer under such circ*mstances. Other than him, I liked what I've seen.

I want to like this one, it IS a Focus Features movie (which I tend to like and feel are better than the average movie), but that damn Channing Tatum.... I'll prob see it anyways, the cinematography looks pretty nice, if anything I'll walk away being visually pleased.
