Expected more

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Video fighting games never seem to adapt well to the big screen. In the past we've had the likes of STREET FIGHTER and MORTAL KOMBAT crash and burn and remaining totally forgotten about these days apart from all but the most die-hard action lovers. TEKKEN is another low rent addition to this sub-genre of film-making, a high intensity and noisily violent fighting film without much in the way of story or originality to bother it.The film is based on a Japanese video game and is a Japanese/US co-production. It stars the little-known Jon Foo as Jin Kazama, a poor young fighter who enters a futuristic fighting tournament in order to win glory and riches for himself. What follows is a film chock-full of hard-hitting action which is nevertheless let down by some choppy editing and poor fight choreography. You know the routine in these Hollywood films: the actors never get a real chance to show off their unadulterated skills because the editor is too busy cutting the fights with super-fast editing. It's a shame, but little surprise given director Dwight H. Little's pedigree (which includes HALLOWEEN 4).Still, if you like nondescript action with plenty of added-in special effects, TEKKEN passes the time, just about. Foo is probably the weakest link to me here; I only know him for his brief cameo in WARRIOR KING, but he seems entirely to lack gravitas and depth, even if he does look like the character he plays. Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa stars as the tournament director and the ever-scary Cung Le plays one of the rival fighters. Gary Daniels is here too in a typical bad guy part although he's sorely underutilised, which is a shame because he looks fantastic. I was surprised to see Luke Goss on board given that he doesn't take part in much of the action. Lateef Crowder, also from WARRIOR KING, also has a cameo pretty much exactly the same as in that movie.

Not that spoilers are relevant but still, I better put a warning here that I am going to write a few spoilers.Why this film is no good, to start with, quite a few characters are hard to recognise, even for a Tekken fan. Thankfully their outfit is there to help, but this is another problem; most of the outfits are so cheap that it turns a character like Nina Williams from sexy to vulgar. Jin gets gradually his outfit through the film, but we never get to see him with the improbable haircut like in the games. I get it, this is not a cosplay contest, but the casting feels like it could have been a little better. Something else looks cheap in this film, the background set. Sure the story is all about a tournament and it is always more or less the same ring they are fighting in, you could hope for something a little better looking.Visually this film is no good, but then again, it is a fighting movie, we came here to watch blood and sweat. Do not blink whenever you see a punch, it will not last very long. The fight a incredibly short; the best of all being the final fight (between... I will not spoil it here, although it will not be any surprise who are the two fighter for this epic battle) that lasts about 30 seconds. Hello, ever heard of the concept of a boss?Bad acting, bad costumes, in fact bad everything. Except Heihachi who looks like a senior cosplayer.

by kloxalot "did not seem to be a video game movie...unlike " street fighter." they did a good job of making the fight scenes seem realistic. the story line wasn't to bad either. i thought this film was going to be a disappointment...i was wrong. i thought it was better than any of jaun claudes movies. the women in this movie are all hott. there was even a little bit of sex scenes that were kinda spicy. the characters all had there own unique style. the one thing i was disappointed about was that yoshimitsu made a quick appearance and did not get enough camera time. some quirks about the movie was there really no surprise ending. all around it was a pretty good action packed movie that was surprisingly good...worth the time to watch." i agree with moast of this.. really did a good job on it . my only issue was the lack of characters and the more known ones had small roles but maybe there could be a 2 coming ...each character was presented really well Looks and fighting styles .. storyline strayed a little but jump back on quick .. all and all really good game to movie transfer .. better than street fighter or mortal kombat . if your a tekken fan this is a must watch!!!
