The ending was also quite sad and was worthy of the build-up during the film.
However the tragic tale was efficiently portrayed and extremely well delivered, it's an enjoyable film. Of course adapting the script from Shakespeare's play would've been difficult but for a better version of Shakespeares' Othello the pace of the film should've been slower and should have concentrated more on the character's and their feelings.this film actually seemed to focus more screentime on action more than it should've.or needed to. Mekhi Phifer (Odin James) and Josh Hartnett (Hugo Goulding) give superb performances, both expressing their characters effectively with great skill.
Elden Henson, Andrew Keegan and Rain Phoenix (Roger Rodriguez, Michael Cassio and Emily respectively), playing supporting roles also gave mediocre performances, I found Rain Phoenix especially poor in parts. I am surprised that Julia Stiles (playing Desi Brable) played an important character but had little screen time, her character Desi was also a little nondescript (compared to Shakespeare's version of her character, Desdemona, who is much more interesting and expresses the virtues of goodness and honesty much more effectively). as we understand that if Odin didn't really love Desi he wouldn't have gone to such extremes when he discovered her 'betrayal.' Most of the acting was mediocre at best. It also concentrates on minor themes such as racism and exploits the human emotions of jealousy and love and how it is such a tender thing which can be easily manipulated. It definitely highlights the theme of 'Everything comes full Circle,' which the Title 'O,' implies. This was generally a good film, well above average but no where near great.
