'Et Tu' Review: Lou Diamond Phillips Leads a Darkly Comic Theater Thriller

Theater can be a cutthroat business. Et Tu takes that premise literally in a comedic serial killer thriller that gives new meaning to the adage "the show must go on." Lou Diamond Phillips leads a sharp ensemble as a frustrated director who takes extraordinary steps to fix his wayward production of Shakespeare's The Tragedy of Julius Caesar. Anyone who's worked in a theater company will laugh out loud at the archetypal characters and apt portrayal of the petty bickering that takes place backstage. There's a giant leap from squabbling to depravity, but sometimes bloody sacrifices must be made for the sake of art — at least according to this film.
