    How this movie didn't win best picture, best score, best screenplay, best cinematography and best actor, I will never know. You MUST rent this movie. It keeps you on the edge of your seat the entire movie.

    This is a great murder mystery set in the 1300's in England. Great acting from pretty much everyone in it. This story keeps unfolding throughout to reveal deeper and deeper layers, much like Lucky # Slevin (also directed by McGuigan, go figure).

    Interesting story. Well acted (for the most part). The only real downer for me was the annoying death scene.
