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.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Unusual Retelling., 20 Jul 2009

By	Ms. J. F. Gilby "Film Lover" (bexhill, uk) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I got this for a birthday present as I'm intrested in Sam Worthington's work and like Shakespeare's stories. Macbeth is a different retelling to other films of the same name, set in Austraillia and in a urban underground. Basic plot if you don't know: Macbeth is visited by three witches (this time schoolgirls instead of old hags) who tells him that he will be great and rule if he gets rid of Duncan. But events go out of control, many deaths and despair lead to a bloody final battle for two characters. This is a violent, visually stunning, sexy and well done verison of the story. Geoffrey Wright made Rommer Stomper which was a conversioal film that earned a 18, here in Macbeth I'm surpised in places that the violence and sex got away with a 15 but it dosen't stop being a film to see. Worthington was perfectly cast as the lead, throwing raw charsmia and his amazing acting talents at you. Victoria Hill was also good as Lady Macbeth, mad in the right places but you felt for her along with the other characters. I highly recommened this product to anyone who loves Shakespeare made into a sexy and violent retelling, worthy four stars.
