Exclamation points and question marks turn up in subtitled dialogue of “The Eagle.” Periods? Not so much, but there’s already enough short, declarative simplicity to the throwback tone and structure of this Roman-Empire adventure. Save the gore, this lean-budgeted production could easily have come from the same era as its 1954 source novel — stoic, steadfast, somber and (mostly) skimpy on silliness.
