Directed by Uwe Boll, inspired by the Dugeon Siege video game series, In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale (2007) took a big-budget gamble and struck out at the box office… not even breaking the top ten. The story concerns a farmer, his son killed and his wife kidnapped by an evil sorcerer. The farmer must rally the King's army and defeat the animal-like Krugs in order to rescue his beloved. Historical accuracy of the medieval period is cast aside in favor of fantasy world magic. Plenty of action and visual spectacle cannot make up for a meandering storyline, odd mix of British and American accents and phoned-in performances. Jason Statham does a good job in the lead role. Leelee Sobieski, Claire Forlani and Kristanna Loken are lovely as the female leads. The rest of the cast is hit or miss, including Burt Reynolds, John Rhys-Davies, Ron Perlman, Ray Liotta and Matthew Lillard.
