The next film up for discussion is The Eagle. It's about a Russian guy, named Vladimir (Valentino) who once was a soldier for the Czarina's army. In the beginning of the movie, he saves a beautiful girl from her runaway horse and carriage. The Czarina is quite impress with his horsemanship so she invites him to her office/ chambers for a drink. She want to do more than give him a promotion... if you know what i mean. Haha. So when she goes to "slip into something more comfortable" he runs off. When she discovers he's gone, she declares him a deserter and put out a warrant for his arrest. What a b****. But when he returns home (mind you, he hasn't been home in years), his father's castle has been taken over by some noble guy, Kyrilla, and his father is gonna die! What a bad day! So he rallies up the village and declares vengeance upon Kyrilla and becomes the mask wearin', vigil-ante known as the Black Eagle. It goes on and on about his good deeds, but he gets the opportunity to infiltrate the enemy's fortress by posing as a french tutor for Kyrilla's daughter, who happens to be the pretty girl he rescued in the beginning. She doesn't recognize it's him at first, but she eventually puts all the pieces together.
Now, I could tell you about the ending, but I won't. It's too good to spoil! It's jam packed with action, fighting, horseback chases, a dash of comedy, and of course romance. Now go watch it on Netflix!
