In a war between Rome and neighbour Volsci,The rioters get heated to Caius Martius (Ralph Fiennes), a excellent Roman whom they blame for the city's complication.
Why Fiennes chose to use Shakespearean text is confusing, especially when he must have known that Coriolanus isn't the most recognisable of Shakespeare's plays.
The other actors do their best to help Fiennes define this curious anti-hero. Incapable of playing the role of peacetime compromiser, his Coriolanus comes across as a warrior who simply can't function without a war.
