Plot summary

Even though he's the only black student at the elite Palmetto Grove Academy, star basketball player and future NBA hopeful Odin James has the adoration of all, including the team's coach and the Dean's beautiful daughter Desi. Odin's troubled friend Hugo, the coach's son, is deeply resentful of his father's preference of Odin on and off the court. When Hugo plots a diabolical scheme to sow the seed of mistrust between O and Desi, it sets in motion a disturbing chain of events which erupts into a firestorm of breathtaking intensity.

Overlooked new version of Othello deserves mention

Memorable modern adaption of "Othello" sets the story in a ritzy prep school where Odin (Phifer) is the star basketball player, one of the school's only black students, and also one of its most popular. His sexy white girlfriend (Stiles) is the headmaster's daughter.A good showcase for the young actors, as well as the veterans who fill out the cast. Follows O's tragedy to all of its brutal conclusions. This film's success was hurt when it was held back for 2 years following the Columbine High School murders, to which its events bear little resemblance. As a consequence, its once cutting-edge soundtrack was yesterday's news, and its stars had in some cases already broken through. It was not very successful, but hopefully will have a long life on video.

A pretty heavy film

I saw this movie a few months ago and it made quite an impact on me. This isn't your usual teenage fodder, believe me. It has it's flaws, but it's a pretty good movie with a heavy subject going for it. This movie reminded me of how malicious and cruel people can be. Odin is the focal point of this movie and Meki Phifer did an excellent job, providing the right amount of cockiness and likability. Josh Hartnett takes his acting to the next level with his manipulative and sinister performance. Martin Sheen is dependable as ever in his role. This movie disturbed me a little bit, especially the ending. It stuck with me for a while afterwords

7.5/10
