Pushed by his ambitious mother to seek the position of consul, Coriolanus is at odds with the masses and unpopular with certain colleagues. When a riot results in his expulsion from Rome, Coriolanus seeks out his sworn enemy, Tullus Aufidius. Together, the pair vow to destroy the great city.

Of all the modernizations of Shakespeare, this may be the best.

Alan.John.Gerstle

31/2* Trouble with Shakespeare's language? Read play first. An excellent production synthesizing classic acting & modern warfare/politics

Great rendition of a Shakespeare-attributed play.

Angelos Loukatos

An interesting version of Shakespeare's play. The performances make it worth a watch.

Movie itself was pretty good. But that goofy language in which they speak is very distracting. I'm glad that's not read world speech.

The modern setting makes the language easier to understand and therefore the movie more enjoyable

Completely forgettable, so much so I can't even think of a way to make a pithy comment.

It's not for everyone but I enjoyed it, especially after reading the playwrite. It's a good adaptation

Modern Shakespeare movie not really for me

A tragedy
