Memorable modern adaption of "Othello" sets the story in a ritzy prep school where Odin (Phifer) is the star basketball player, one of the school's only black students, and also one of its most popular. His sexy white girlfriend (Stiles) is the headmaster's daughter.
A good showcase for the young actors, as well as the veterans who fill out the cast. Follows O's tragedy to all of its brutal conclusions.
This film's success was hurt when it was held back for 2 years following the Columbine High School murders, to which its events bear little resemblance. As a consequence, its once cutting-edge soundtrack was yesterday's news, and its stars had in some cases already broken through. It was not very successful, but hopefully will have a long life on video.
