The local video rental store was going out of business and were selling off all their old stock for $4 a piece. They had quite a few copies of Far Cry (and about 20 copies of Speed Racer) but even $4 is too much to have fun watching such terrible trash. The synopsis on the back of the case showed that the plot was the exact same as that of the game. While the game was pretty fun, I can't imagine watching that story without the actual thrill of being in the action. I doubt even 1/10th of people downloading the movie would be willing to pay even $4 for it.
