Hidden blade, hood, quiet walk - members of the fraternity appear suddenly. And if the hunt has begun, be sure that soon their goal will surely leave this world. The article will examine the plot of the film “Assassin’s Creed”, the actors and the roles they performed.
Start
Assassin`s Creed series of computer games inspired the creation of the film. In 2007, Ubisoft developed the first game in which a war broke out between the brotherhood of the assassins and the Knights Templar. The latter hunted for the powerful artifacts of ancient civilization - "Particles of Eden." You see, they wanted to rule the world. And the first by all means tried to stop them. Well, at the same time prevent the end of the world.
The following parts were distinguished by
heroes, characters, countries and eras, but the main meaning always remained unchanged. The struggle of brotherhood and order did not stop even for a second. And despite the fact that the Templars were always in power, occupying the highest posts and important ranks, the assassins managed to find a way to disrupt their plans. The plot of the picture is not connected with the games of the series, but the essence remains the same. After a short description, find out which characters the actors played in “Assassin's Creed” (film).
Call of the Ancestors
Callum Lynch's life did not immediately work out. In childhood, he lost his mother, then his father, and three decades after this guy was sentenced to death. The sentence was supposed to be a lethal injection. But he survived. And, of course, not for free.
He was given a second chance, but freedom was never returned. Callum is too valuable for the Templars. His ancestors once owned a powerful thing, and he is obliged to help find it with the help of the hi-tech Animus device.

Callum Lynch (Michael Fassbender) could not even imagine that he was a potential member of the ancient brotherhood of the Assassins. He had long been disappointed in himself, because even for the murder of a pimp he was facing the death penalty. Although the guy had inclinations. From childhood, he was tormented by extreme thirst. And he appeased her, riding his bicycle on the roofs of the sheds, not far from the house. His tricks did not always end happily, but it was felt that Callum's parkour was in his blood. However, like his long-time ancestor.
Aguilar de Nerj joined the fraternity in Spain as early as 1492. It was worth a lot. During initiation, he lost his ring finger. But he got a hidden blade - the main
weapon of the assassin. Now he will be able to do away with the Templar once and for all. But how did the poor fellow know that in a few centuries they would build a huge infernal machine capable of reading his precious memory. That's how lucky Michael was to play two characters at once. The rest of the actors who starred in the movie “Assassin’s Creed” received only one role.
So, the Templars are again playing an open game and continue to search for "Particles of Eden." Fortunately, there are always enough funds. Everything happens within the walls of the powerful company "Abstergo", which is managed by a high-ranking Templar Adam Raylin (Jeremy Irons). For the sake of his work, he pulled Callum Lynch from the other world. But is Adam doing the right thing?
True, Mr. Reilin is only responsible for financing the Animus device. Scientific work is the task of his daughter, Sofia Reilin (Marion Cotillard). This is who the real scientist is. And even though she is a Templar, she seems to be more concerned with the condition of the experimental subjects than with any “Apples of Eden” there. So Callum was lucky with her. At least for now.
The miracle of technology
But not only the actors who played in the movie “Assassin’s Creed” deserve attention. With all their souls, the creators of the picture approached the reconstruction of the so-called "Animus". In a series of games, it was a reclining chair or a luminous table with a minimal amount of connected equipment. But what is shown in the film is even difficult to describe in words. Well, the genius is the one who came up with such a pathos carousel.
The work of "Animus" looks spectacular, especially when Callum Lynch, immersed in the memory of Aguilar, begins to repeat his movements. And during the action scenes, this manipulator looks no less spectacular than the frames of a fraternity scuffle with the order. An interesting thing is this "Animus", and most importantly, practical. If the Templars ever cease to be needed, some entertainment center will definitely buy him.
Multifunctional battle
Those who are familiar with the game of the same name know that when fully equipped, the assassin is like "Inspector Gadget." This is a large number of devices that he carries with him. And Aguilar willingly uses them.
With his girlfriend Maria
(Ariana Labed), they show a beautiful performance, deftly moving along the roofs of Spanish architecture and experiencing the action of smoke bombs, daggers and darts with poison and other equally dangerous weapons on the soldiers of the Inquisition. It could not have done without a pneumatic harpoon, and the famous “Leap of Faith”.
New assassin
But the film is not fixated on endless parkour and battle scenes. That would make it too easy. The story is much deeper. It is not only about a long-standing confrontation between the two groups. This is the formation of the modern assassin from the memory of his ancestors. And this is not easy to accept.
In just a few days, Callum will have to find out the truth about killing his mother, avoid the death penalty and make contact with the merciless "Animus". But, albeit by the age of forty, but Callum understands his destiny. And most importantly, he is not the only one. More recently, he had no one, and now a small fraternity has appeared, and even a few killed "Templars" on the account. Now everything fell into place.
Other actors who played in the movie “Assassin’s Creed” coped. Although digging in their past will not be here. Yes, this is not necessary. In this case, it’s clear
who the Templars are and what goals they pursue. Of course, I would like to know more about Dr. Sofia Raileen, but perhaps still to come. In general, the beginning is very interesting. Unless, of course, a continuation is planned.
By the way
This is the second adaptation of the Assassin`s Creed series of computer games. In 2009, the short film “Assassin’s Creed: Origin” was shot, the actors of which showed the sequence of events that occurred before the second part of the game in thirty-five minutes. Romano Orzari, Jesse Rat, Manuel Tadros, Devon Bostic and others took part in the filming. Of course, it makes no sense to compare these projects. But we will consider that the attempt is counted.
