O

EVERYTHING COMES FULL CIRCLE…

oIn this high school version of Shakespeareā€™s ā€œOthelloā€, basketball player Hugo Goulding (Josh Hartnett) is insanely jealous of his best friend, Odin James (Mekhi Phifer), and plans to destroy him. Thereā€™s plenty of rap music, the title of the play has been reduced to a minimum and there are references to real-life student-perpetrated massacres ā€“ teens will probably relate to it. Director Tim Blake Nelson knows how to handle the drama of this story and the young talents are quite watchable. The way Odin loses his mind in the ending is not too convincing, but Hugo definitely seems like someone we all might have met.

2001-U.S. 95 min. Color.Ā Directed byĀ Tim Blake Nelson.Ā Cast:Ā Mekhi Phifer (Odin James), Josh Hartnett (Hugo Goulding), Julia Stiles (Desi Brable), Martin Sheen, Rain Phoenix, Elden Henson… John Heard.
