O (2001)
Hot young stars, a hip, driving soundtrack, plus a provocative tale of jealousy and betrayal combine to create this controversial contemporary version of Shakespeare's classic,"Othello." O is Odin James (Mekhi Phifer), the school's star basketball player and future NBA hopeful. Though he is the only black student at the elite Palmetto Grove Academy, he's got the adoration of including the team's coach (Martin Sheen) as well as the Dean's delightful daughter, Desi (Julia Stiles). Odin's troubled friend Hugo (Josh Hartnett), the coach's kid, is profoundly appreciative of his dad's inclination of Odin on and off the court. When Hugo plots a diabolical scheme it puts into motion a chain of events which erupts into a firestorm of intensity.
