this movie wasnt great, but it is based on a shakespeare play, known as "Othello". Any shakespeare play, as appropriate and fitting as it may be, is very difficult to put into modern day terms. Josh Hartnett did not display his best work here (believe me, hes my cousin, and he screwed up :P ). his role was not a role he can play as well as if he were another character in this movie. what I can say is that his voice and appearance as an actor WAS fitting for this role, but not his actual acting skills...anyhoo, i think it was done decently for a shakespearean peice transformed. Julia Stiles did alright, but than again, shes done a movie before based on a shakespearean play (see 10 things i hate about you) which wasnt that good either. I dont feel like writing anymore.
