...you might get something like Coriolanus.

This is out on DVD having not opened in many theaters in its screen run.

Coriolanus: Ralph Fiennes turns Shakespeare's tragedy into a timely, tightly-plotted action thriller. - Slate Magazine

It does have some of the 17th Century thespian English that you find is Shakespeare plays, but has a great deal of action with some very witty dialog about the fickleness of the mob (and media) as well as about the military.

I really tried. I have seen some other modern interpretations of Shakespeare plays but this one did not do it for me.

Even fast forwarding did not help.

Sorry.
