Jolie reprised her role as Lara Croft in "Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life" in 2003. The sequel, while not as lucrative as the original, earned $156 million at the international box-office. Later that year Angelina Jolie starred in "Beyond Borders", a film about aid workers in Africa. Although reflecting Angelina's real-life interest in promoting humanitarian relief, the film was critically and financially unsuccessful. The Los Angeles Times wrote, "Jolie, as she did in her Oscar-winning role in Girl, Interrupted, can bring electricity and believability to roles that have a reality she can understand. She can also, witness the Lara Croft films, do acknowledged cartoons. But the limbo of a hybrid character, a badly written cardboard person in a fly-infested, blood-and-guts world, completely defeats her."
