The Tragedy of John Hamnet


Modern film noire about a private investigator who is drawn into a crime family by the jealous would be heir of an assassinated don.  Story closely parallels the classic tragedy, Hamlet by William Shakespeare.  John Hamnet discovers secret tapes made by the don, implicating his brother (the new don) in his murder.  He becomes increasingly absorbed in the case until eventually it becomes personal.  Of course, it culminates in a massive gunfight, resulting in the deaths of most of the principals and a takeover by the neighboring crime family.
