A Shakespearean play in modern times perfectly executed.

Rating: 8/10 (1 April 2017)

With this movie Ralph Fiennes proves that he in not only a great actor but also can direct. "Coriolanus" is a very good movie and the mix between modern warfare and Shakespearean speech is perfectly weighted. The story is perfect and also perfectly executed. While Fiennes delivers an outstanding performance we mustn't forget Gerard Butler. This isn't the latter's best performances but it is nevertheless very good. There are many great shots of people and landscapes and I must say that the cinematography overall is very good. Fiennes also does an amazing job directing this movie. Every detail is perfectly weighted and all the elements, symbolisms and props are fitting and his interpretation of the original into modern times is very intriguing and fitting. Overall we can say that this modern take on Shakespeare makes a great movie.
