Macbeth (2006)

Transplanted from the highlands of Scotland to the gangland streets of Melbourne, Shakespeare's savage tale of power, murder and revenge loses none of its potency. Sam Worthington (Avatar) stars as Macbeth, the loyal henchman who – along with his bloodthirsty wife – plots his accelerated rise to the top. A bruising cocktail of drama and violence, Macbeth is an electrifying example of filmmaking at its most daring and compelling.
