A contemporary adaptation
Joe Macbeth (James McAvoy) is a brilliant young chef who works in a three-star restaurant owned by mega-celebrity chef Duncan Docherty (Vincent Regan). Macbeth's wife, Ella (Keeley Hawes) also works there as maitre d'.
Macbeth and his friend and fellow chef Billy Banquo (Joseph Millson) are angry that Duncan claims credit for Joe's creations and work and that Duncan's son Malcolm (Toby Kobbell), who is destined to own the restaurant some day, is so incompetent.
When three supernatural trashmen (Nick Malinowski, Shaban Arifi, Ben Enwright) predict that Macbeth will someday own the restaurant, Macbeth and his wife hire an hitman to kill Duncan. But beware head waiter Peter Macduff (Richard Armitage)
Originally aired on BBC on Nov-14-2005.
Screenplay by Peter Moffitt. Directed by Mark Brozel.
Run time: 1 hour, 30 minutes.
No MPAA rating.
My personal rating: B+
