In the Name of the King III (2014)
Hazen Kaine, an American contract killer living in Sofia, Bulgaria, gets more than he bargains for when he enters into a contract with the mob. One last job before he gets out and starts a new life for himself. The targets: the three children of royal billionaire Andon Dupont. Seems simple enough, or so he thought. Hazen apprehends the children, and before he can blink an eye, a simple necklace worn by one of the children sends his life spiraling back to medieval times. Now completely out of his element, Hazen fights for his life as he tries to escape a medieval army and a fierce fire-breathing dragon.

Good concept, poorly executed.
Don't Believe the Hype
A modern day assassin, wanting out, is hired for one final job: to kidnap the kids of a local businessman. Things go haywire when it turns out he's chosen to return to the Middle Ages and bring back order to a kingdom in chaos. Uwe Boll once again directs a In the Name of the King film and once again the end result is pure garbage fire and it's a pretty bad waste of time but also talent since Dominic Purcell is actually a pretty good and decent actor but this movie never gives him what he truly wants and that's very disappointing but then again? Boll made it..
No need in writing anything, it doesn't deserve the effort. Avoid at all costs. I would rather clean the toilet than watch this garbage again.I found the fake reviews hilarious. 90% of the reviews for this film are fake, made by members that (surprise) joined IMDB the same day they wrote their review, and they only have one review written, the one about this film.
Fool me once, shame on you Fool me twice, shame on me Fool me three times, I'm a ruddy idiotI'm a longtime Boll defender, movies like this do not help my cause at all.The first In The Name Of The King (2007) was mediocre but passable, it's sequel (2011) was a bit of mess but nothing too offensive. This however, is a slap in the face with a part of Uwe's anatomy we should not discuss anywhere........ever.Here we see mercenary Dominic Purcell ham it up as another guy ripped through space and time, mistaken for a "Chosen one" and forced to battle evil forces including an awful looking cgi dragon.Nothing against Purcell in fact I think the guy is a decent enough actor for the genres he tends to do, but here he is officially phoning in his performance and looks bored from the outset.Now onto the stupidity, for a start our protagonist is a bad guy with few redeeming features. No movie which starts with a guy kidnapping children is going to get me to root for him.Secondly the front cover is yet another dishonest one, at no point does Purcell wear a suit of armor.Boring, mindless stupidity is all you'll find here.The Good:Not so muchThe Bad:This is a protagonist, really?CGI is really poorUnforgivably boringDishonest coverThings I Learnt From This Movie:Even Hollywood recognises womens insistence on going for the biggest a-hole availableUpon being pulled through a portal you will have instantly attained the ability to wield a sword like an expert
"You're on the path that you must follow to its end and that end might come sooner then you think." Hazen Kaine (Purcell) is an enforcer for the mob who wants out. After being given one last job he thinks he gets his wish. He is to kidnap the daughters of the royal family and hold them for ransom. When he takes a necklace from one of the kids something strange happens. He is teleported back in time to the dark ages and the only way back is to save the village from a dragon. So...yeah. That is actually what the movie is about. When they tried this plot in the Army Of Darkness it worked. This one did not. To be fair though I didn't like either of the other two so if you did you may like this one. I am not a Uwe Boll fan but after watching and really liking Assault On Wall Street I was hoping for better then this one. But when the main character in your series goes from Jason Statham to Dolph Lundgren to Dominic Purcell there is really only one way the series can go as well. Overall, I have seen worse but it's really time for this series to stop. I give this a C-.
