The use of CCTV, revolvers and rifles, and very modern costumes make this interpretation a little on the avant-garde side, though sticks to the play. And it would have been excellent if it were not for the choice of actor to play Hamlet himself: Tennant ruins the whole thing. When 14 year old in an intro to drama class is given instruction, and then told to memorize the lines and act, their upper eyelids are usually not in their normal position; the boy glares intensely, because he's concentrating so much. All actors eventually mature out of that habit. Not Tennant: he's a total and complete amateur. On top of his non-stop semi-rage glaring, he overacts every scene he is in.
