Director Kevin Macdonald, who fared poorly with historical drama in the factitious Idi Amin biopic The Last King of Scotland, performs an appreciable act of imagination here. The Eagle’s focus on Marcus’ personal mission avoids the specious allegory of the insulting Prince of Persia and steers clear of the dubious political metaphor in Macdonald’s contemporary espionage film State of Play.
