Far Cry
Ah, this is what happens when you put something in the hands of the notorious Uwe Boll. Noted for being the Ed Wood of video game adaptations, everything that Boll touches turns to crap. 2008’s Far Cry, starring the brilliant Til Schweiger (who must’ve really needed the money during the Great Recession), was no different.
Like most Boll films, this was like watching a highway pile-up and wondering why humanity never learns its lesson. Far Cry is a good reminder of why selling something to the first interested buyer isn’t always the best for business and reputation. Money is certainly the root of all evil, especially if evil is a Boll production.
Ubisoft Motion Pictures is reportedly planning to introduce a new Far Cry film in phase two of its cinematic efforts; however, news has gone cold ever since 2016’s Assassin’s Creed flopped hard. Let’s hold thumbs that the Splinter Cell film does better and helps kick off this Ubisoftverse.
