Plot

Jack Carver, a former member of Germany's Special Forces, takes the journalist Valerie Cardinal to visit her uncle Max, on an island, where he works in a military complex.

After his boat is destroyed, Jack finds out the true purpose of the facilities on the island: the creation of genetically modified soldiers.

Production

Uwe Boll gained the rights to a Far Cry movie, purportedly even before the game was released. In an October 2006 interview, Uwe Boll said that production on Far Cry would begin in May 2007.^[1]

The Far Cry series has been heavily edited in Germany, where it was released in October 2008, to sub-par reviews.

Reception

As usual for Boll's movies, Far Cry was universally panned by fans and critics.^{[citation needed]}
