Assassin's Creed: Lineage (2009)

A prequel to the video game Assassin's Creed II (2009) that focuses on Giovanni Auditore de Firenze, the father of the game’s protagonist, Ezio.
To achieve the look of 15th century Renaissance Italy they used green screen that actually works, possibly because they utilised the actual game engine to build the world. It looks great and is the most successful and faithful video game tie-in that I've ever seen. Well done, guys.
What let it down was the usual half-a-story Ass Creed script and, while the actors deliver their dialogue just fine, I can’t tolerate when English is used by an entire culture that should be speaking Italian.
