For Shakespeare lovers ONLY!

Rating: 3/10 (27 November 2016)

Reading the Amazon write-up, I expected a Roman times thriller ... instead I got a modern day thriller taking place in a non-Rome "Rome," with ancient Roman names, and, of all things, Shakespearean language. Great actors and great acting aside, I'm one of the vast majority who despise Shakespeare and his unintelligible manner of speaking. I'm happy for the .025% of folks who enjoy this kind of thing, but for the rest of us, please warn us ahead of time, OK? Unless these fine actors were working for scale, this flick had to have lost multi-millions, taking in (according to IMDb) a pitiful $600k+.
So if you LOVE Shakespeare, you'll love this flick. If you don't, stay FAR, FAR away!
