Tomb Raider - 古墓奇兵
Tomb Raider (古墓奇兵) is an 2018 film. The movie stars Alicia Vikander as Lora Croft, the main character of the film and also based on the video game of the same name. The supporting cast include Dominic West, Walton Goggins, Daniel Wu, and Kristin Scott Thomas.
Lora Croft is an action junky as a bike messenger. We find out that she's running away from her past. The past as a daughter of a rich company owner that perishes on a trip. When an inheritance is on the line, she finds out what could have made her father die. On a trip of finding out, she lands in Hong Kong looking for passage to an island with the answers. When she gets there, a secret organization is out to get them. Can she find out and survive?
I never played the video game from back in the day. I also didn't watch the Angelia Jolie ones either. Which makes this a first for me to the Lora Croft universe. I liked it, she kick some @$$. Daniel Wu's role was relatively minor to the major story, but he did provide some comedic moments.
