Weak sequel
Advantages: Angelina Jolie
Disadvantages: Weak story and acting
...sequel to the 2001 film, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. This film was called Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life.
The tomb raider, Lara Croft (Angelina Jolie) is asked by MI6 to find Pandora’s Box, a mythical box said to contain a deadly plague. She must find the box before the evil scientist, Jonathan Reiss (Ciaran Hinds) who plans to sell it as a deadly weapon. In order to find the Box, an orb called the Cradle of Life, which acts as a map to ...
...Lo steals the orb, Croft enlists the services of former lover and now mercenary, Terry Sheridan (Gerard Butler), to retrieve the orb before it falls into the hands of Reiss and allows him to find Pandora’s Box.
This is a decent film with an interesting film, but it is somewhat lacking in the script department. It seems to rely too much on the special effects and action scenes, which have to be said, are impressive. The cast are average and lacking ...

Not quite 'Heat', but not entirely cold!
Advantages: slick action film, clever in parts
Disadvantages: not so clever in the other parts
Swordfish is a hard action / thriller starring John Travolta as Gabriel Shear and Hugh Jackman as Stanley Jobson. The film depicts the story of Stanley, a top computer hacker who is soon brought under the wing of Gabriel, a violent and ruthless crime lord and not before long he is sucked into a world where he can no longer control the events that are unfolding around him. This film features a strong supporting cast including Don Cheadle as an FBI ...
...plays a simple brained hard man for a change and Sam Shepherd as a US Senator. I really liked this film a few years ago when it came out (2001) but it didn't do too well at cinema, partially because it was one of the terrorist based films that were pulled from screens after 9/11. However, I watched it again the other day and despite it still being pretty entertaining, I found it pretty laughable in some sections. Gabriel played by John Travolta plays ...

...a secret society, called the Illuminati in their search for pieces of a mysterious device which when combined, during a rare alignment of planets, will give the owner unlimited power. Croft must find and destroy the device before the evil Illuminati can use it for their own nefarious purposes.
This is an enjoyable film with a decent story which is a bit weak in places. It is very similar to the Indiana Jones films in terns of style and plot, but ...
