In the year of 2039, after World Wars destroy much of the civilization as we know it, territories are no longer run by governments, but by corporations; the mightiest of which is the Mishima Zaibatsu. In order to placate the seething masses of this dystopia, Mishima sponsors Tekken, a tournament in which fighters battle until only one is left standing.

A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

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.

As a huge fan of the Tekken series, upon finding out about the game being adapted into a film, I honestly never had high hopes in the first place. Normally, video games that are made into a film are normally horrendous (with the exception of Resident Evil) and on seeing the trailer, I knew this would be no exception. First of all, there are a lot of inaccuracies in the film. First of all, Jin (the main character) wasn't introduced until the third Tekken game but it is understandable to have him in the movie as the majority of the games are centred around him. However, Jin was only 15 when his mother died but in the film he was an adult. Speaking of his mother, Jin, in the video game she was murdered by the character Ogre which is the reason why Jin began to fight and enter the King of the Iron Fist tournament, but in the film she is not killed by Ogre but by a bazooka? and Jin goes to the Iron Fist to kill Heihachi, who in the video game was Jin's mentor!I could ramble on more about the inaccuracies like Steve Fox being Jin's mentor, or Paul Phoenix not being involved in the film even though he is in all the games, but there are other criticisms at hand. The acting - TERRIBLE! It was like everyone done a half-hearted performance, not bothered about what events occurred. It was like they were just waiting for filming to end.Characters - Now I know that they can't include every character in Tekken, but they probably had the worst selection ever! They had Christie to play the female lead which makes no sense. They had Sergey, Raven, and others who weren't introduced until Tekken 5 or 6. And Foo, who played Kazama didn't even look like Jin! He wasn't broad enough and they pathetically modified his hair to make it look like Jin only to have it look like an ice-cream cone.And where was Hwoarang in this? Everyone loved a bit of Hwoargie in the games!So overall, I give it a 3/10. The visual effects, the fight sequences and Yoshimitsu's outfit are the only positives about the film. You can tell that they put a lot of work into locations and such with their rather large budget. However, if you're a die hard Tekken fan like me, don't watch it, you will be frustrated. This goes on the list of bad video game to movie adaptations along with Street Fighter, House of the Dead and more. So don't waste 90 minutes of your life watching this frustrating film. Just play the game.Anderson
