Mortal Kombat is based on the video game franchise of the same name. It stars Lewis Tan, Jessica McNamee and Josh Lawson and is directed by Simon McQuoid.
I have not seen the previous films made about Mortal Kombat, but I have not heard good things about them. So, I didn’t have majorly high expectations going into this, but it was better than I could have expected.
The film is actually very violent which is enjoyable. I thought it would be like many video game movies and contain little violence, but there is violence and it is fun. Josh Lawson’s Kano is also a very entertaining character, who is easily the most fun part of the film.
That being said, the script is terrible and many of the performances are really wooden. I wouldn’t really recommend making a trip out to the cinema, as there are probably plenty of films that are more enjoyable. But for a Mortal Kombat movie it is better than I expected. 2.5 Stars.
