This is one of the best movies i have seen lately. Its plot is based on Shakespeare's Othello. It manages to update this classic tragedy very succesfully. If you have read the play, I highly recommend this movie. If you have not read the play the movie wouldn't make as much sense, so I recommend reading it prior to seeing the movie. Oh, and the movie has Josh Hartnett as the bad guy. I was doubtful of his ability to play the role before i saw it but it was prolly one of the best potrayed roles in the entire movie.
