Release: Mass Effect: The Shadow Broker

Mass Effect: The Shadow Broker
Genre: Action/Sci-Fi
Director: Patty Jenkins
Writer: Seth Overton
Based on the video game series
Cast: Alicia Vikander, Lupita Nyong'o, Tom Hardy, Steve Buscemi, Fatima Ptacek, Ken Watanabe, Will Yun Lee, Jennifer Garner, Mickey Rourke, Henry Cavill



Budget: $200,000,000
Domestic Box Office: $287,333,021
Foreign Box Office: $350,093,506
Total Profit: $169,000,013

Reaction: The best numbers yet for any of the Mass Effect spin-offs (although this one featured more characters from the main series than the other two spin-off films). The film lost a bit of the potential profits due to the contracts of stars Tom Hardy and Henry Cavill (both received a small percentage of the profits of the film).


"Easily the best of the Mass Effect spin-offs, Patty Jenkins' film combines some the franchises favorite characters into one fun, action-packed film." - Michael Van Patten, Slant Magazine



"Each film in the Mass Effect series has managed to remain fresh, with this film being a breezy, easy-viewing build-up to the inevitable Mass Effect 3." - Charles Yost, Oregonian


"A top notch production on paper, this film simply makes the mistake of following two of the franchise's least interesting characters - those played by Alicia Vikander and Lupita Nyong'o. If it had followed Mickey Rourke's new character, or Tom Hardy's return as Garrus, things could have worked out better." - Paul Ontkean, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
