Tough

Rating: 7/10 (27 September 2011)

And it is tough, not because it brutal and/or violent (it is that too). But because it uses Shakespearean English in modern times. While it has been done before, it is definitely not something for everyone. It won't appeal to people who are looking for a quick snack. A movie they can just pop in (their player), watch and get out of the player/local cinema, after watching it.
You really have to follow what people are saying. This of course means, while it does appall some, it also appeals to others. Myself I wouldn't count me in either of those leagues. I did find the premise interesting and I though Fiennes did a fine job directing (it looks really good). I still didn't feel a great impact. The actors were phenomenal too btw.
Modern Shakespeare war ... is that your cup of tea?
