The Reckoning is a murder-mystery set during the medieval period. The film is directed by Paul McGuigan and is written by Mark Mills from Barry Unsworth's 1995 novel, Morality Play. It was released in 2003.
In 1380 England, a disgraced priest (Bettany) joins a traveling acting troupe and tries to solve a murder mystery by re-creating it during one of their performances. The film is rich with intrigue and atmosphere and boasts a fine supporting cast. The play also alludes to the evolution of the theatre arts from (in the period) what was strictly Biblical morality plays to drama's based on real or non-Biblical fictional subjects.
