    The Eagle

    Reviewed by

    Could this become the most underrated movie of the year? There are no star actors which probably explains its mitigated success at the box office. Sure Donald Sutherland appears here and there in an almost unimportant role but that's it. Despite that it had all the elements to make it a great historical adventure/action movie. If you expect a mindless action movie à la 300, you will be disappointed and that's exactly where its interest lies. It's intelligent and explores the characters personalities and ambitions in a much more profound manner. Where 300 was completely over the top (bordering on ridiculous at times), this one is much more realistic. I didn't enjoy it quite as much as Gladiator but the budgets for both films were far apart so I didn't have the same excpectations. It's too bad this movie seems to be passing under the radar.
