Deception + Jealousy = Tragedy

O (2001) proves that friends who are jealous can be the most dangerous people around. This update of Shakespeare's Othello is very, VERY well-acted and depressing. Josh Hartnett should have gotten an award for his performance of Hugo, the jealous friend of the title character. Hartnett adds depth to the complex, misleading Hugo. As the story comes to it's final act, the thing I liked best was that Hugo still didn't really learn a lesson and he still held onto his belief/goal. All of the story's deception and jealousy comes to disturbing, tragic results. All of the performances were excellent, along with the directing. The final scenes in the movie were very depressing and poetic. ***** out of *****.
