Editorial Reviews "In one of the most accessible versions of HAMLET yet committed to film, Campbell Scott's self-helmed Great Dane is more than ever a man of our time..." Variety - Ken Eisner (07/23/2001)
"...[Scott] conveys a smoldering intelligence softened by a residual tenderness....[Sheridan] is at once magnetic and chilling..." New York Times - Stephen Holden (08/17/2001)
