♦ Tomb Raider is out this week at cinemas and here is Mark Kermode reviewing it for the BBC…

Tomb Raider is an American action-adventure film directed by Roar Uthaug and written by Geneva Robertson-Dworet. It is based on the 2013 video game of the same name by Crystal Dynamics. The film stars Alicia Vikander, Walton Goggins, Daniel Wu and Dominic West. Warner Bros. Pictures will release the film on 16 March 2018.

Lara Croft is the fiercely independent daughter of an eccentric adventurer who vanished years earlier. Hoping to solve the mystery of her father’s disappearance, Croft embarks on a perilous journey to his last-known destination – a fabled tomb on a mythical island that might be somewhere off the coast of Japan. The stakes couldn’t be higher as Lara must rely on her sharp mind, blind faith and stubborn spirit to venture into the unknown.
