Welcome to the Film Pie! Brisbane based film critic Matt Toomey has reviewed thousands of movies since 1996. See what's out now, or browse the review archive.

Mortal Kombat (out Apr 22) is a fast-paced, R-rated action reboot based on the popular video game series. For a movie which is mostly one-on-one fighting for 90 minutes, this is surprisingly entertaining. It doesn't take itself seriously, most jokes hit the mark, and the casting is great (Australian Josh Lawson is MVP). Grade: A-.
