Review of The Eagle (2011) by David Edelstein for New York Magazine (Vulture) — 14 Feb 2011
The Eagle is furiously unsettled-thematically, temporally, meteorologically. Wild-eyed, long-haired Brits leap atop the Romans' shields as the soldiers blindly hack away, the bodies so close that you can barely tell the victor from the vanquished.
The battles in the fog and rain have a hallucinatory power.
