Going in, I didn't expect much from Mortal Kombat. After all, it's really all about the fighters and their fatalities. With each character introduction, I find myself rooting for a new favourite. There were even times I wanted the bad guys to win, but that might just be due to Josh Lawson's charisma and wisecracks as Kano.
When I say the cast is talented, I mean it. Each and everyone absolutely delivered, making even some of the most unrealistic scenarios believable thanks to their fighting skills. Of course, they also looked damn good doing so. I mean, have you SEEN Lewis Tan, Mehcad Brooks, Joe Taslim, Hiroyuki Sanada, Jessica McNamee, Max Huang, Josh Lawson, and Ludi Lin?
