Wrong Time. Wrong Place. Worst Situation."Far Cry" is a German-English movie, adapted from the world's first-person-shooter video game of the same name.
Directed by Uwe Boll, Far Cry stars Til Schweiger as Jack Carver, a retired special forces officer who escorts journalist, Valerie Cardinal to visit her uncle, Max Cardinal who works on a mysterious island. With her uncle's help, Valerie is on the trail to uncover Dr. Krieger's research on genetically enginereed soldiers.
Now, set your expectations right because I failed to do so. Haha.
Yes, the whole movie is about Carver and Cardinal's attempt to rescue Uncle Max and to escape from the island and Dr. Krieger's monster soldiers. Well, it's a movie based on a shooting video game. So, technically speaking, I'm expecting some real, serious, ass-kicking, reckless yet stylish mercenary stuff.
Sad to say, I'm rather disappointed by the amount of humor interjected by a few characters. Why are there two annoying tourists and one food delivery guy appearing in the movie? They've done nothing other than spoiling the movie by uttering stupid lines that don't crack the audience up at all, I dare say.
Well, at least I've only watched it on DVD. So, I don't feel bad. Haha.
