Assassin's Creed - Drunk Monk - 12-27-2016
This film has a lot going for it for me. Firstly a friend is in it - Michelle Lin. She gets some good FaceTime and gets to kick ass, but no lines. Secondly, some of it takes place in Grenada and Sevilla, at locations I visited. Thirdly it has three of my fav actors, Cotillard, Lyons & Rampling, plus an hp1 for Mad Eye Moody. Fourthly, swordfights. Fifthly hallucinations.
But it misses in a major way. It's one of those films that makes me mad - so much potential and so much effort, yet it fails.

Is it like Prometheus, a beautifully filmed but bottomlessly stupid, or do you think this was maybe a good film that got studio-chopped into a bad one?

One more thing. The protagonist was named Lynch.
Prometheus is a good analogy. But where Prometheus struggles to live up to its predecessors, Ass Creed was too greedy in its scheme to launch a franchise.
Plus it's a damn videogame, so it's right up there with Tomb Raider or Warcraft.
