Rupert Friend certainly looks the part of the titular assassin, and the action sequences appear to make good use of the R - rating, but with so many better video
game properties begging to be made into films, did we really need another generic action flick based on one that didn't work the first time?
With that said, the Mega Man
games typically aren't as story driven as some other video
game properties that have recently started development for the silver screen such as Assassins Creed, also being handled by Fox, which
begs the question as to whether or not this project can succeed where so many other video
game movies have failed miserably in the past.
