Anarchy is a film about dirty cops, drugs, arsonists and forbidden love. Topics chewed over a hundred times. But if it is based on the work of William Shakespeare, ''Cymbeline, King of Britain'' (Cymbelin), if it has the right mix of actors, a terrain where we can break through the clichés to the story and message, and if the strong cast is at the service of the play and don't hunt for as many viewers as possible, we get a movie worth our time.
Anarchy is a modern film adaptation of Shakespeare's play Cymbeline, which was signed by director Michael Almereyda, who is no stranger to the works of the greatest English playwright, as he already recorded his own version of Hamlet in 2000. There he worked with Ethan Hawke, who also found a place in the sound cast in this film, where they stand opposite each other dirty cops and a "dealer" motorcycle gang.

Almereyda borrowed a lot from Shakespeare's work, only that he calibrated things so much that they have settled into the present day. Well, with a complicated one a murder story, mistaken identity and corruption it was probably not difficult for him to identify. Otherwise, the film has quite a lot of parallels with another work by the Englishman, Romeo and Juliet (in the center of the action is forbidden love and poison, which in this case, if we guess, is a drug).
