Tomb Raider (2018). Film Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * *

Cast: Alicia Vikander, Dominic West, Walton Goggins, Daniel Wu, Kristen Scott Thomas, Derek Jacobi, Billy Postlethwaite, Josef Altin, Jaime Winstone, Samuel Mak, Sky Yang, Civic Chung, Maisy De Freitas, Emily Carey, Nick Frost.

 

When the action on screen is more enjoyable than the overall story; that is the time in which to surrender the plot and just get out of the film what you can. It happens more often than you might think but rarely in such a brazen way in which the reboot of Tomb Raider has foisted upon the world and if it wasn’t for the admittedly spectacular stunts pulled off in part by Alicia Vikander, the whole film could be seen as a dramatic failure, only kept alive by the fandom of the indomitable presence that Lara Croft has had on the games industry across three decades.
