There are plot holes you could drive a truck through. "Mortal Kombat" stands out. A letdown, unfortunately. …

★★★★★ 10.0

One of the strong points of his direction (aside from how well he filmed the fight scenes) is how he handled the movie on a technical, and design level. Predator, and the Resident Evil movies. Despite his more recent efforts, he does a solid job directing this film. …

from a technical perspective some questionable directorial choices hold this back. There are plot holes you could drive a truck through. Buyer beware.

you'll see that the three he selects would not have been the obvious choice. The story takes far too long to get going, the character establishment introduces us to three people that have axes to grind, but they are not particularly interesting or characterful - and neither is their dialogue. It is only 100 minutes long, this - but somehow it seems so much longer.
