Chimes at Midnight

A DISTINGUISHED COMPANY BREATHES LIFE INTO SHAKESPEARE’S LUSTY AGE OF FALSTAFF

Henry IV usurps the English throne, sets in motion the factious War of the Roses and now faces a rebellion led by Northumberland scion Hotspur. Henry's heir, Prince Hal, is a ne'er-do-well carouser who drinks and causes mischief with his low-class friends, especially his rotund father figure, John Falstaff. To redeem his title, Hal may have to choose between allegiance to his real father and loyalty to his friend.

  • Luna Wall
    Way too long and dragged out. It had potential, but it lost me halfway through.

    The perfect blend of action, humor, and heart. One of the best movies I've seen in years.

  • Luis George
    The plot was full of holes, and the acting felt forced. I had higher expectations.

    The soundtrack was the highlight of the film. Unfortunately, the rest of the movie fell flat.
