Review in Brief: Tomb Raider (2018)

Posted on January 2, 2019 by Sam S-P

The quest for the great, even good video game movie (as opposed to a few decent examples of movies about video gaming) continues. The latest TOMB RAIDER is unengaging, lifeless and features a depressing amount of obviously fake jungle sets. … Continue reading →
