LARA CROFT: TOMB RAIDER (Theatrical Release USA 2001)


Ben Meyers’ Rating: 3.8|5.0 Starsììì 

Lara Croft: Tomb Raider—not a high quality watch—still works because of the fabulous stage settings and the unexpected fighting spirit of the female lead. Some of the dialogue lines can reflect a bit of 'cheesiness' but all together the movie, oddly, works as a fresh, entertaining adventure thriller. The action is over-the-top so that action is the foundation that supplants everything else that usually 'make' a movie

Buy a ticketYes? No? Maybe?

Maybe. This could almost be a cult classic. It's worth a one-time watch just for the stage settings.
