By the pricking of my thumbs.

The Tragedy of Macbeth – 2.5/5

Well don't I need to take a college credit course on reading Shakespeare. Thank god for subtitles; blessed be the pause button. I think with this movie I finally start to understand Denzel as an actor; he's unpredictable; perhaps sane, bordering on not. He carries crazy well. He takes it with him off-screen. He's somewhere else, in a one-man play, and indeed I think he could have pulled it all off on his own; he need no other. Mostly. Kathryn Hunter's the only one who rises up to meet him. Everyone else is starring in some other, lesser movie, and they drag it down around them.
