Nice film freely based on Shakespeare play , in fact it is more an inspiration than a faithful adaptation with carefully calculated scenarios. As appearing here and there various known personages from the classy play : Gertrude , Claudius , Polonius , Laertes , Horatius, Rosencrantz, Guildenstern . Dealing with the famous and passionate romance kindles between Hamlet and Ophelia in secret as the kingdom is on the brink of war amidst its own political intrigue and betrayal ; then Hamlet vows vengeance on the murderer of his father in this tight version of the stage play . It contains compelling cast , spectacular production design in Czech Republic , where most the shooting was done , including many castles were available for on location filming , and sets were built on sound stages , being spendidly photographed by cameraman Denson Baker and beautifully costumed . However , something is lost in the process , although there are some redeeming , including those appearing Naomi Watts in a double role as Gertrude and Mechtild . Actors giving accesible and decent interpretations of the Bard's moody play . Stars Daisy Reily , famous thanks to Star Wars saga , she brings insight and nuance to her role , being well accompanied by a fine plethora of actors , mostly British ones , such as : Clive Owen as Claudius, Tom Felton , George MacKay , Devon Terrell , Sebastian De Souza and Nathaniel Parker who also played in Kenneth Brannagh's Hamlet .The motion picture was well and professionally directed by Claire McCarthy.
