And Rose Leslie,Ygritte on Game Of Thrones, clearly knows nothing, taking a supporting role here as a good witch out of a misguided belief that any role in Hollywood after being unexpectedly killed off (F**k Olly) is a major step on the road to stardom (it isn't).

Michael Caine has never shied away from doing any old tat for the money, and as his role here basically requires him to either sit about looking old or play dead it's a plum job. Some of the reasoning is easy to figure out. And it turns out the same is true of reviewing the film I could go on and on about incomprehensible action and the forced, over-explained 'subtext' in every single scene, but the real heart of the problem with this modieval (modern plus medieval, geddit?) fantasy lies in the motivations behind its casting. Rating: The Last Witch Hunter is such a bore that it's much more fun to play "Why Did This Actor Willingly Choose To Star In This Dross" than actually watch the drivel on screen.
