Swiss Army Man

Hank Thompson (Paul Dano) is stranded on an Island way out to sea, he is about to hang himself off a rock before he spots a corpse (played by Daniel Radcliffe) has washed up on the shore. The corpse appears to be totally dead and motionless (which is what corpses do I suppose) apart from the fact it appears to be farting. These farts are quite powerful and create a special kind of energy that can propel Hank great distances. Soon enough, the corpse seems to come to life, and the two form a strange bond as they both on an extraordinary adventure.

Assassin’s Creed

Based on the video game franchise, the film starts in the year 1492 where a group of secret assassins swear to protect the Prince of Grenada. These are the Assassin’s Brotherhood who have long opposed the Templar Order. Hundreds of years later Callum Lynch (Michael Fassbender) is executed for murder, but he wakes up inside the compound of a mysterious company who have traced his heritage and found out he’s related to one of the Assassins. They have built a machine that allows Callum to inhabit the memories of his ancestor and tasked him with finding the Apple of Eden.
