At least it had the guts to... (spoilers)
Obviously the Tomb Raider films aren't as good as the games, but they are still fairly enjoyable in their own right and one thing I highly respect the second film for is killing off Gerard Butler's character.
In situations like this the guy usually turns completely good, or he escapes in to the sunset and the main character tells the government or whoever that he's dead.
So I respect them for having the guts to actually kill him off, it was very un-Hollywood of them, which was great.
