Tomb Raider (2018)
Country: US/GB
Technical: col/2.39:1 119m
Director: Roar Uthaug
Cast: Alicia Vikander, Dominic West, Walton Goggins, Daniel Wu, Kristin Scott Thomas
Synopsis:
The headstrong daughter of renowned businessman-cum-amateur archaeologist, Lord Richard Croft, refuses to bury her father's memory, but a clue sends her to the Far East, where she picks up his trail on a cursed island devoted to a legendary Japanese Queen Himiko.
Review:
This second attempt to launch a movie franchise from the video game of the same name is perplexingly similar to the first in its particulars. However, we do at least have a lifelike heroine who cuts and bleeds, and romps through as though she means it. Nevertheless, it is still a collection of action movie clichés, ending in suspension for a sequel that never came.
