A Roman soldier Marcus Aquila decides the best way to restore honor to his father and himself is through recovery of a golden eagle emblem lost by his father's Roman legion fighting in Northern Britain.
Played by all body Channing Tatum there isn't any nuance to his side of the story. Genuine and believable pained expressions? Sorry, no.
Jamie Bell manages to improve the movie somewhat. He plays the homoerotic role of questionably loyal body slave Esca whose life nevertheless was saved by Marcus in a gladiator ring. (Is he given a girlish sounding name to put him in his place?)
