"The Eagle" is a film which revolves around Marcus Aquila (Channing Tatum) who quests to discover what really happened twenty years ago related to his father's disappearance. With him is Esca (Jamie Bell), his servant to fight and regain his family's honor by bringing back the Golden Eagle. I didn't expect much from this film but it turned out to be a good watch for me.

Story wise, not a bad one but maybe a lot are disappointed because it doesn't have enough fight scenes knowing Marcus should "fight" for honor. Generally, a smooth one but not a great one.

The early scenes are actually very nicely done with some well shot Celtic scenery and s...
