Lara Croft Tomb Raider
2001
*½
Director: Simon West
Cast: Angelina Jolie, Noah Taylor, Jon Voight, Iain Glen, Daniel Craig
Having never played the popular computer games this action film is based on, Lara Croft appears to be an archeologist/adventurer who enjoys demolishing ancient temples and relics. Director Simon West didn't have great credentials to begin with (Con Air, The General's Daughter), but this inept mess is a new low for him. Admittedly, incomprehensible script, baffling characterisation, dreadful performances and laughable dialogue do not help matters.
