The Directors of "Ghost Recon Alpha" Make Adaptation an Art Form

Complex: "Ubisoft's LA screening of Ghost Recon Alpha was packed with Hollywood big-wig types, but there was still a comfortable seat for a lowly games writer like myself.

"The short film follows Ghost Team for the course of one mission, from its covert, civilian-garbed beginning to an explosive final firefight. There's not much in the way of characterization or exposition—it's all grizzled, clenched jaws, obtuse hand signals, futuristic video chats and precision sniper shots.

"It's in the direction that the film really shines."
