In The Name Of Your FACE! Bam!

In The Name of the King: The Last Mission (but not really)

     The 3rd, and so far, last ITNOTK movie starring Dominic Purcell as the main protagonist named Hazen Kaine. The film starts out with Dom acting as an assassin/mercenary in modern times. His last mission is to kidnap some royal crotch fruit. He does so, easily, and hides them in a storage container. He sees an amulet on one of the victims and rips it off of her. After locking them away in the container, he compares the cheap trinket to a tattoo and it opens a portal to the past. Back to medieval times that included a dragon. Again. Yes, this movie opens almost EXACTLY as the second film did.
     I'll be honest. I checked out while this movie was playing. It was one long sword fight and a plot so weak and runny, it could shit through a screen door. One of the most grating scenes was at the ¾ mark. During a big battle between the warring armies, someone yells “STOP FIGHTING!!!” and everyone did just that. Seriously?!? Since when does that ever work?
Eventually, Razain Hain or whatever the hell his cheesy name is, wins the battle, kills the bad guy and is transported back to his time...with the the dragon following him through the portal. There's a chase scene, people get shot, there's some double crossing, and the dragon kills the lamest 'tough bitch' hench-lady I've ever seen. Movie over, I'm done with this terrible set, and all is right with the world...



                            ...for now.
