Jeremy Slater is pleased to discover a ‘movie of a video game’ that doesn’t insult the intelligence…
Most grown-ups and many moviegoers would shy away, these days, from films that appear to be based on PC games, and who can blame them? The sub-genre has produced some of the worst films ever, outdoing the lousiest of horror gore fests or slushiest happy-ever-after romantic comedies by a multiplex mile. As proof, consider Steven E. de Souza’s 1994 outing Street Fighter in which Kylie Minogue joined forces with Jean-Claude Van Damme, or Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001) (or The Cradle of Life (2003), take your pick) which, despite Angelina Jolie’s pulchritudinous assets, fell flat.
