This 2001 black comedy is, believe it or not, based on Macbeth. It taskes place in a 1970's era hamburger joint run by Duncan, who is killed by "Mac"(beth) at the urging of his wife. In his usuual scene stealing manner, Christopher Walken arrives as Lieutenant Macduff to investigate. Many many hilarious lines and highly recommended. Not a good DVD transfer and the sound levels are annoyingly uneven, with dialog intlligibilty problems. But it's worth sitting through, especially if you know the play.
