This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

I will say that you have to be prepared for this English retelling of a Middle Age Play. Forget the SciFi elements. If you think Sci-Fi, you will feel short-changed. If you think pure stage drama with post apocalyptic 21st century props, then you will be ready to sit thru this.And while the setting is Post-Apocaplytic England, the language and script is wholly Olde English/Elizabethan. So you will quirk an eye-brow and go "Huh?" when you start hearing the 'My Lord's, the 'My Lady's, and long archaic, flowery phrases.BUT. . .having said that: you can get into the swing of it after 15 minutes and go along for the ride. It IS different.And because women tend to like all things 'Play-ish', this one is Girlfriend Friendly with extra brownie points for the Guy in her bank-- for purely female reasons.So be a Good Joe and try to keep your finger OFF the FF button.

I agree with all the positive comments that have been made.It's greatly entertaining, as nearly all revenge films are. (in my opinion anyway...) It's got asides to the audience. (I do like that) It looks gorgeous, never lags, has great casting/acting. (Although I'm not sure if Alex Cox's cameo fits in here this time.....)And even the plot's good, I reckon.So...that's my erudite opinion, (albeit a bit spartan!) Give it a chance, it's great.....Shame there's no commentary on the DVD tho...To sum up - great film!

This is quite simply one of the WORST films I have ever seen.Alex Cox has made 1 good film(Sid and Nancy)and has been coasting since then on his non-reputation, but enough is enough.Taking Middletons already over the top play and infusing it with dreary 80-s post-punk visuals and dreadfull Derek Jarman style pretension leaves the viewer nauseous and patronised.Eccleston, usually dependable is AWFUL, and only Izzard acquits himself(amazingly).Avoid this trash at any cost0/5

A real cinematic treat, this film takes a play published in 1607 and transposes it to a strange modern(ish) world. Cox's direction is brilliantly inventive, giving the film a fast-paced anarchic feel that never becomes just a showy veneer. The stylised langauge and the modern visuals work very well. Christopher Eccleston as the "revenger" is superb, as is Derek Jacobi (as you've never seen him before!). Highly recommended.
