Andrzej Bartkowiak is a Polish cinematographer and film director.
He initially was just a cinematographer, serving as such for films including
The Verdict,
Terms of Endearment,
Speed,
Species,
Dante's Peak and
Lethal Weapon 4, and is a member of the American Society of Cinematographers. In the 2000s, however, he started trying his hand at directing. His films have all been mediocre (at best) action films; of which consensus seems to hold to have gotten progressively worse over time. Whereas
Romeo Must Die,
Exit Wounds and
Cradle 2 the Grave are watchable action films, his latest efforts,
Doom and
Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li are both
video game adaptions that effectively jetison everything that made the games good and are thus rendered as forgettable dreck.
His next film is titled
Dark Deal, and is slated to be released in 2011.
