Mortal Kombat: Annihilation is like watching your favorite video game get adapted by a group of stunt doubles on their lunch break. The plot crashes through scenes like a drunk Raiden—loud, confusing, and dressed in questionable white linen.

Finn as Carl Racki, the villain who chews the scenery almost as aggressively as he chews up the ice. The movie hits harder than a body check, with e...
