Many of Lara's action sequence moves will be known and loved by any aficionados of the video game series. Drawing weapons mid-somersault, swallow dives into water, forward rolls to reverse direction - these are signature moves of the experienced player. more

In the next shot he is clearly seen to the left of the screen with his shirt back on as the wall topples down, jumping up and down and shouting something. more

God, Angelina is hot!, 6 December 2001
8/10

I just recently bought this movie on DVD without even previously seen it. I haven't even really played the video. I am very familiar with the game but never have actually sat down to play it. But this movie was a lot better than expected. I mean A LOT better. I can't think of any other actress to be Lara Croft other than Jolie. She is unbelievably hot and a fantastic actress. I think it's the lips that do it for me.
