Justin Chang reviews Greg Kwedar’s film, starring Colman Domingo and Clarence (Divine Eye) Maclin, which brings us deep—though not deep enough—into the process of rehabilitation through art.
One performer, John Whitfield, played by Colman Domingo, seems to capture the fleeting nature of the experience with some of Lysander’s most famous lines: “And ere a man hath power to say ‘Behold!’ / The jaws of darkness do devour it up; / So quick bright things come to confusion.” So quick is right. All too soon, the men have changed back into their green uniforms and returned to the daily tedium and terror of incarceration.
And so Brent writes “Breakin’ the Mummy’s Code,” a sprawling, time-travelling farce that tosses together elements of Egyptian mythology, the legend of Robin Hood, “A Nightmare on Elm Street,” and “Hamlet”—and, in a richly Shakespearean irony, it’s the gifted newcomer, not the seasoned veteran, who gets cast as the Prince of Denmark.
