For some people it might work, so I give 3 stars overall. In summary, I found this "action" film rather documentary with amateurish touch. To put it another way, their actions look somewhat too slow for action film, they would probably look good for comedy though. In one scene I saw her fighting with a big bloke without guns but both acting looked like cheap shots. For example, Lara doesn't look very confident in handling tools and guns. Thirdly, the characters are not acting enough, or lack training in specific actions. I guess this was intended to make the film realistic but due to the shortage of action scenes such effect is adding more home-documentary touch instead. This is exacerbated by small voices (or improper level of voice capture) which is again highly inappropriate for action films. Suddenly it zooms up and down, moves left to right, and that doesn't help it look like an action film at all. Secondly, the camera-work is too unstable, just like an amateur documentary film. Does that make Lara Croft familiar to you? Maybe, but certainly to me who was imagining her spending more adventurous life style, it spoiled her image badly. I know the story is about Lara's youth and how she grew up to be a tomb raider and all that kind of stuff, but she looks like a typical teenager bored of anything around and consumed with TV games. The actress plays Lara in too different style from our stereotypical image of Lara Croft. So my review shall lack in its entirety but still here it goes. Actually, I stopped in the first 2 minutes and quickly skimmed through the rest. So I was not surprised to see how bad it would be. After having watched two Tomb Raider films, I realized there was still one left and despite the low rating in the IMDb I decided to give it a try.
