One night, three binmen meet Joe and his friend and fellow chief Billy and tell them that the eating place will win three Michelin stars and that Joe will own the whole place one day.They also tell Billy that his sons are also in line to inherit.

The movie is a suspenseful thriller that manages to be intertaining and engaging spell stick toing the rough guideline of the original Macbeth. There are many things that I like about this film. I particularly liked how they descie to base their story in a kitchen since if you think about it a big kitchen is srt of like a kingdom with the head chief being the king and welding inviolate authority and everyone else his subjects.I a lso liked how they managed to link the film to the original Macbeth without being too restrict by it. Even though the setting of the two stories are completely different they still follow the same plot with the same characters in each roll. Inspite of this devotant following to the original story the film was moody into an exciting thriller with a great sense of suspense. I also loved the visual and audio aspects of the film. I loved billis ghost and how creepy and realistic it looked.The audio aspect of the film, especially the music, is occasionally uncanny but strangely appropriate. The music especially manages to creat a great amount of suspense in the movie and really draws the viewer in However there are also some problems I have with the film. One of the problems is the pace of the film. You see Shakespearere told macbeth and the original macbeth follow the same storyline, but while the original macbeth has 4 hours to reach its final conclusion the retold version only has 1 and a half.Hour in which to do this and as such all the plots and stories are a bit crammed in for my liking and certain part of the plots are outright ignored. For example the film does not adequately explain how ella was driven to suvicide by gulit. I believe that macbeth, Shakespeare retold, is an excellent thriller which follows the rough storyline of the original macbeth in an modern setting. It is very engaging and socialize to watch and it is an must watch for anyone who loves thriller or who is an great fan of Shakespeare
