Modern day retelling of Othello. I just didn't care for this movie at all. The main problem was the casting.

"O" is a Shakespearean drama [based on Shakespeare's classic and my person favorite "Othello"] that leads audiences down a road where revenge is exacted on everyone. A villain lurks in the shadows to bring about the downfall of O [played by Mekhi Phifer] as well as his lovely girlfriend Desdamona [Julia Stiles]. A wonderfully dark and ominous film!
