Hawke, Ethan

• Hamlet (2000)

  [7/10]

  "I don't think that this version with its modern setting brings too many young people to an appreciation of Shakespeare, but for those of us who have liked Shakespeare all along, it gives us some new ways of looking at a classic."

• Lord of War (2006)

  [5/10]

  "From the Lord of War trailers, I expected an action movie, but writer/director Andrew Niccol has infused his film with political messages that unfortunately interfere with my enjoyment of the film."

  Average score: 6.00
