Review of The Eagle (2011) by Bikerjames — 14 Feb 2011
The Eagle feels a little amateurish in parts. The acting and writing is not stellar, and the battle scenes with the camera moving all over the place is ridiculous. You cannot tell what is going on during the battle scenes.
However, I did feel there was good chemistry between the two leads, and the main crux of the story is the loyalty and trust between master and slave. The best part of the movie is when they are captured by a barbaric tribe, and the master becomes the slave and vice versa.
It can be slow moving in parts, but I was not bored. Donald Sutherland was a waste - he has a small role and his character is never developed enough to give him much personality. Another plus, however, is the beautiful countryside where the movie was shot.
Overall not bad, but could have been better.
