Mortal Kombat wins

Rating: 6/10 (3 March 2001)

The plot, being old as the hills, is nothing to write home about.
And the lines about "win the mob", "give them blood" seemed more than a little ironic. Talk about a movie aimed at the Mortal Kombat crowd.

The cinematography was amazing. His long shots constantly reminded me of Maxwell Parrish; the quick Koyonasquaatsie-like "nature moving fast" shots were effective, and scene after scene of indoor opulence and/or mood-setting were meticulously lit.
Shame that such a talent as Scott's must be burned creating such a mundane barn-burner.
