Far Cry is a 2008 English-language German action film loosely adapted from the video game of the same name. The film is directed by Uwe Boll and stars Til Schweiger. It was a major box-office bomb and received negative reviews. Plot In a remote jungle at nighttime, a mercenary squad is shown tracking down several escaped test subjects, only to be slaughtered by a lone mutant. Their employer, Dr. Krieger, is informed about the event and is asked to stop his research, Krieger refusing to do so. The film then skips to Valerie Cardinal, an American journalist who is secretly receiving information about the events and the truth about Krieger's research by an informant. She agrees to meet with him in person on a remote South Asian island to receive the rest. To get to the island, Valerie hires skipper Jack Carver, a retired special forces operative, to take her to the island. During the trip, she reveals to Jack that her informant is her uncle, Max, who she claims served with Jack; Jack denies having ever known him. Jack's boat reaches the island. However, it turns out that Krieger's mercenaries caught Max and forced him to reveal the meeting location. Valerie is captured and the boat is destroyed, though Jack manages to escape. Jack steals a gun from a nearby guard after knocking him out and rescues Valerie. He insists that they leave the island, though Valerie refuses to leave without Max. They hijack a mercenary vehicle and proceed to their main compound, where they are captured once again. Jack is locked in an empty cell with a former member of the cooking staff. While they attempt to escape, Valerie is forced to have dinner with Krieger, who orders the mercenaries to unleash Max (who has been transformed into a mutant) on Jack and the cook when he sees them on camera trying to escape. After a brief fight, Jack manages to convince Max to reject Krieger's programming. Max then assaults the mercenaries and releases the other mutants. The mutants, enraged by what Kreiger did to them, attempt to kill all of the humans on the island. After taking heavy casualties, half of the surviving mercenaries realize Krieger is insane, abandon him, and team up with Jack to escape the island. The other half of the mercenaries remain loyal to Krieger and attempt to help him regain control. The
