THE SIMPLE SYNOPSIS:
A Roman epic adventure, based on the classic novel of the same name (The Eagle of the Ninth), set in the dangerous world of second-century Britain. In 140 AD, 20 years after the unexplained disappearance of the entire 9th Legion in the mountains of Scotland, young centurion Marcus Aquila (played by Channing Tatum) arrives from Rome to solve the mystery and restore the reputation of his father --- the commander of the Ninth Eagle. Accompanied only by his British slave named Esca (played by Jamie Bell). Marcus sets out across Hadrian's Wall into the uncharted highlands of Caledonia --- to confront its savage tribes, make peach with his father's memory, and retrieve the lost legion's golden emblem, the Eagle of the Ninth.
THE COMMENTS:
Channing Tatum didn't do such a horrible job in acting this time,
even though he is famous in his sucky acting skills.
(Oops... I did not just say that!)
However, the storyline started a little boring. It got hyped up when Marcus's British slave,
Esca pretended to betray him and started to treat Marcus like an asshole.
Overall, it is not a bad movie to watch.
