Movie Description
Set in England during the late 1300s, Paul McGuigan's THE RECKONING follows Nicholas (Paul Bettany), a young priest literally running from his past. After encountering a band of wandering actors, Nicholas is grudgingly allowed into the fold by the good-natured Martin (Willem Dafoe). When the troupe reaches an impoverished village, they get word of a strange murder and look into the story as the basis for a new play. However, Nicholas and Martin uncover more than they'd expected, and soon a deeper mystery emerges. Meanwhile, as Nicholas attempts to find justice, he also struggles to come to terms with his own troubled history.


A medieval murder mystery in the vein of THE NAME OF THE ROSE, THE RECKONING is based on the Barry Unsworth novel MORALITY PLAY. Under the artfully somber direction of previous collaborator McGuigan, Bettany turns in an excellent performance as a guilt-ridden priest struggling to atone for his sins. In addition to Dafoe, the film also features fine supporting actors such as Brian Cox and Gina McKee. Utilizing its historical backdrop to the fullest extent, THE RECKONING immerses the audience in its medieval setting, revealing the period's many hardships and enhancing the drama of this intriguing, unfolding mystery.

Editorial Reviews
"[T]he story moves at a steady clip, generating enough mystery to keep you guessing and enough atmosphere to keep you interested."
Los Angeles Times - Manohla Dargis (03/05/2004)

"[V]isually inventive..."
Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum (03/12/2004)

"[T]here's some bold filmmaking here. As McGuigan proved in GANGSTER NO. 1, he likes to serve up moral dilemmas with unnerving style."
Sight and Sound - David Jays (08/01/2004)
