    This movie was pretty epic. It's such a straightforward story, easy to relate to and yet original in the way it's presented. No overdone, over the top CGI and no crazy twist. It's pretty good and made me feel what they felt. Great actors, great cinematography!

    Another Hamlet story that actually warps the concept and makes the audience question which side is actually in the right.
