Based on the play by William Shakespeare, this modern-day adaptation follows the story of Cymbeline (Ed Harris), the reigning king of the Briton Motorcycle gang who has developed an understanding with local Roman police that allows them to conduct their illegal affairs without prosecution. As Cymbeline prepares to marry off his daughter Imogen (Dakota Johnson) to the Queen (Milla Jovovich)'s son Cloten (Anton Yelchin), Cymbeline is outraged to learn that Imogen has secretly wed the penniless Posthumus (Penn Badgley) with whom she has fallen in love. As Cymbeline forces Posthumus into exile, a war erupts between the Britons and the Romans, leaving Imogen torn between two very different worlds. (Transmission Films)

I don't much like the modern take on Shakespeare. While the contrast of language and time is quite interesting, I don't like it. It's not something that I seek out and that gets me. Yes, the stories are timeless, but they can be filmed in other ways. This lacks any real added value, and it's just drowning in its own opulence.
