Tomb Raider

Director Roar Uthaug’s Tomb Raider is an action-filled film depicting the adventurer Lara Croft, when she was green and not very wise. 

Alicia Vikander is admirable as the novice Croft, who comes into her own in her search for her father (Dominic West), who had disappeared seven years earlier, while searching for the tomb of a Japanese witch.

 

Though some may have hoped for Vikander to be as tough as Angelina Jolie’s more mature version of this character, I enjoyed watching her mistakes and foibles as she stepped into her power.  And, let’s face it, I could look at Vikander all day.

While Tomb Raider is no Wonder Woman, it should appeal to its audience.  

I give it a 3.8 out of 5.
