What I liked

I was at first a little surprised that this was a genuine adaptation of Marlowe’s play rather than an original script based on it. As such, they did a commendable job of condensing it into a compact, hour-long running time. Worth checking out, especially those with an interest in Elizabethan drama — and, possibly, selling their souls to the devil!

What I didn't like

Play up the punk aspect more. If you are doing it punk – go all the way with it. You might find places to alter dialogue further as well to connect the idea of a punk rocker to the materia’’s themes.

My overall impression

A fun introduction to Marlowe’s play.
