countryside. Beowulf (Ray Winstone) must defeat the evil creature and
inevitably his ruthless mother.The screenplay is adapted by Roger Avary
(Pulp Fiction) and Neil Gaiman; Robert Zemicks directs. Anthony
Hopkins, John Malkovich, and Robert Penn Wright also make
appearances.This film is fine escapist entertainment. –forrest green III
