There's enough conviction in her performance to make you want to believe in Lara Croft, the spunky heiress is who is equally at home in her spacious mansion or within the catacombs of a lost tomb. The script jumps from one expected moment to the next, never apologizing for its lack of originality.Īt least Jolie understands the limitations of the script. It's controlled chaos, utterly lacking in surprise. It deals with end of the world stuff, but it never feels apocalyptic. The script is a patchwork of ideas that plays like a Greatest Hits collection of other films. Taking its cue from the video game, the film's screenplay is more of a puzzle than a plot. With her mock British accent, Jolie is a lot of fun as the adventurer-archaeologist who is equal parts Bruce Wayne and Indiana Jones, but with a much better body. I watched an interview with Jolie in which she said that she really "became Lara Croft". I loved the performance of Angelina Jolie, who brings the computer game heroine Lara Croft to life. "Tomb Raider" is a harmless diversion that should please its core audience.
