Customer Ratings & Reviews

It is described as William Shakespeare's "Rambo" and that is a fitting descriptor. The difference being that while both movies combat / action scenes are weak in the realism department this films acting is at a whole different level. Any true fan of the stage and theater will enjoy the acting and the movies classic style presentation. However I would not recommend this movie at all for those looking for another shoot-em-up to add to their collection. This film is all about the actors relating a classic tale to the audience.

Blu-ray is the only way to watch this movie if you missed it in theaters. Ralph Fiennes and Gerard Butler are captivating and ooze magnificence! The subject matter is well presented, as another modern take on Shakespeare's lesser known works makes it's way to the moving picture. If you are looking for a gripping story and compelling cinematography from a brilliant first time director, get this film!

Corialanus is a difficult play and rarely produced so for Finnes to take it and make it relevant and real for taday's world is a wonderful accomplishment. It is also nice to see Gerard Butler given the chance to remind us he is a fine actor.

If you're a fan of Shakespeare...you'll like this. If you're a fan of war movies...you'll like this. If you enjoy both then you're in for a treat. That being said this movie is definitely not for everyone.

Great adaption of a Shakespeare play. Well acted and adapted for a modern setting.

I THINK THIS MOVIE WAS GREAT AND I WOULD RECOMEND IT TO FRIENDS

didn't realize what i was buying . thought with the two well known actors this movie would be better.good if you like that kind of movies.

But that's just my opinion, you have to purchase this to judge for yourself. I never listen to reviews, I only care about what I think.

At first, we were like "great, a shakespere like movie" < (being sarcastic) but after we finished watching the movie in its entirety, we were all surprisingly pleased.
