Review of Lara Croft: Tomb Raider - The Cradle of Life (2003) by Pattie S — 24 Sep 2008

Once more Jolie delivers as the amazing Lara Croft!! This film takes you over 4 continents, great cinematography, action, motorcycles and gadgets galore...Croft is the female version of Indiana Jones (and God knows we needed one)!!! Excellent role model for women. The first one and this one are part of my private collection.

In this one, Lara Croft has made perhaps the most important archaeological discovery in history: an orb that leads to the mythical Pandora's Box. Unfortunately, the orb falls into the hands of an evil scientist who deals in killer viruses and hopes to sell the secrets of the box as the ultimate weapon. Recruited by British Intelligence to get the orb back, Lara recruits a British marine turned mercenary (and her former love interest) to help her out. Highly recommended, especially in HDTV with Blue Ray player!
