Capsule review

Ralph Fiennes brings his acclaimed stage version of Shakespeare’s Coriolanus to the screen with thunder, blood, and muscle in a polished film- directing debut. Trimmed by screenwriter John Logan to a lean couple of hours and wrenched into the present day (much of it was shot in Belgrade, evoking the bloodbath of the ’90s), this Coriolanus has the look and feel of an action flick wrapped in the rich language of the Bard. Fiennes, head shaved and face streaked with mud and gore, is a ferocious warrior, and Vanessa Redgrave is at her very best as Volumnia, his iron-willed mommie dearest. The story can be a bit of a challenge to follow at times, but the payoff is powerful. Rated R. 122 minutes.
