3.0 out of 5 stars A curate's egg, 11 April 2008
By R. J. Robinson (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Not a great version, but as modern adaptions go, it's surprising how well Macbeth has been fitted to gangland. Film's superior ability to deliver action when compared with the stage is exploited to the full, and pretty good it is too. Hampered by quite a lot of mediocre (though seldom actually bad) delivery, yet on the physical level the acting is often compelling, especially from Lord and Lady Macbeth themselves. The play's frequent moral ambiguity sometimes seems out of place in the underworld, but perhaps that's just my own stereotypes creeping it. All in all worth a look, especially if you like Shakespreare in modern dress. I even bought a copy.

2.0 out of 5 stars Brotha Mac, 16 Oct 2007
By MICHAEL ACUNA (Southern California United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Robbed of all it's innate majesty and poetic vision,set in contemporary times among the Melbourne underworld and boiled down by writer Victoria Hill (who also plays Lady Macbeth) into a series of "Kill Bill" like bloody scenes, Sam Wright's "Macbeth" manages to turn Shakespeare's play into an Iambic Pentameter spoken episode of the "Night Stalker."
Sam Worthington gives us 100 ways to glower as Macbeth and the scene with the three witches (in this case not old, wizened hags but three bodacious young women) is laughable and audacious in its sheer lunacy.
"Macbeth" is shot like a BMW commercial: all bright and shiny with glistening surfaces and most of the players are saddled with dyed black hair and tight leather clothing.
All of this would not matter one whit if director Wright had infused the mise en scene with some humor or more importantly some insight into what Shakespeare was after in his play.
By all means check this version out if only to compare it to the gorgeous Welles version or even the straightforward though poetic Polanski one. Just be forewarned: a huge amount of Scotch is required to get you through this particularly difficult experience.

3.0 out of 5 stars Surprised it's only a 15, 27 May 2009
By M. Coyle "melancholie" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a great contemporary version of the play, with a modern interpretation and some good acting. I was, however, rather shocked by the content considering it's a 15 certificate. I wouldn't watch it with under 18s. It's incredibly violent and features full sex.
