a very hype up and slick and edgy reinterpretation . they have fall into the because it modern and it have to be hype up and slick and etc . trap . romeo and juliet carry this idea off much more successfully and but i really think it time we move beyond the two extreme here ( period piece vs. edgy film ) . just because this be a modern retelling and doesn not mean the movie have to look like a magazine ad and or have anything to do with drug or gun . if the trapping be as subtle a the honeyed word and macbeth would be a far more powerful film . a it be and read your shakespeare . read it out loud . ask your oxford dictionary some question . skip the film . or do not and but you have be warn . sorry for the super long review . imdb make me do it .
