The latest sandals-and-swords outing, "The Eagle" has landed . . . with a thud.

'The Eagle' will likely find a future life on the video shelves of high school history teachers looking for a semi-educational way to kill a couple of days worth of classes.

The story sags in the middle, as our wanderers traipse through the highlands-not a happy environment for Tatum, who, before his journey even begins, looks all at sea in this distant age.

There's a predictable arc, as the two enemies have to overcome their mutual mistrust to survive.
