Tim Roth stars as Oliver Cromwell in this lavish story of revenge and betrayal set during the English Civil War. When Charles I is removed from power, a rivalry explodes between two former friends: General Cromwell and Lord General Thomas Fairfax. As Fairfax makes plans to restore Charles to the throne, Cromwell orders the king's execution, setting off a battle that tears English right down the middle. While beautifully reproducing its historical era, TO KILL A KING is also a gripping film about loyalty that features a fantastic turn by Rupert Everett in the role of Charles. [More]
