Tomb raider movie 2018
The chases and fights are ho hum with a capital H. And that’s where he learns she was quite the kickboxer, and before that, an archer for the ages. That’s where Lara runs up against Mathias Vogel (Goggins) and his minions. He will help her find her way through The Devil’s Sea to the island where an ancient Japanese sorceress was buried. He may well but, Dad’s “first letter from my final destination” (post mortem) gives her fun clues to work out that tell her what he was up to.Īnd that sends her to Hong Kong in search of Lu Ren, every Hollywood action movie’s Compulsory Chinese Content. Her guardian ( Kristin Scott Thomas) wants her to take over the family multi-national, but that would mean admitting that Lord, billionaire and avid Indie-imitator father Richard ( Dominic West) is dead. Lara is a London pizza delivery heiress in the new film, a kickboxer who never knows when to quit, a bike racer who treats the mean streets as her BMX course. He has a few scenes with a sat-phone, as if to head off charges that he “phones it in.” It’s a half-hearted turn at best, and pales next to his murderously mincing menace in TV’s “Vice Principals.” Now THERE was a bad guy. Here, it’s Walton Goggins as the pistol-packing predator running a tomb-search on a remote Japanese island. That film was more stunts/somewhat less digital, though both “Tomb Raiders” are a bit let down by their villains. And present comparisons when the new film comes out.

Maybe that’s because SyFy has been airing the 2001 film repeatedly these past few weeks to gin up interest in the re-boot/remake. If it seems only yesterday that Oscar winner Angelina Jolie was playing the “Let’s get PAID” role in a T & A & L (especially “L”) take on the tank-topped terror. She makes for a more serious Lara Croft in a duller, less supernatural and somewhat less fun version of the video game heroine based on Indiana Jones. She can barely reach the villains she’s spin-kicking left and right, much less deliver the throw-weight to make a punch look like more than a slap. Yes, the Oscar winner is a Swedish slip of a thing, and having her stand next to - well, any of her co-stars save Walton Goggins - makes it clear that all that kick-boxing and wrestling we see her do to set up her mad skillz in the physical realm will convince nobody.

Alicia Vikander makes us feel Lara Croft’s pain, with every grunt, whimper, yelp and gasp of exertion she makes as the “Tomb Raider.”
