Gerry Barnaby's Film Review : Tekken

Genre:  Action Crime Drama, contains strong violent fighting & strong language

Cert: 15-18 cert

Story: The year is 2039. World wars have destroyed everything and territories are run by corporations, the mightiest -- and cruelest -- of which is Tekken. Jin Kazama (Jon Foo) witnesses the death of his mother Jun (Tomita) by Tekken in the slums known as Anvil. Vowing vengeance, and armed only with his street smarts and raw fighting skills, he enters a dangerous and potentially deadly combat tournament, where he must defeat the world's most elite fighters to become the "King of the Iron Fist.

Likes : From video game to movie is not easy for film to be made,there only been three other film that i know of that have made good film from video game,resident evil,super Mario bros,mortal kombat,now everyone knows the story of tekken if you played the games or seen the animated films,this live action film isn't to bad for a fantasy marshal arts movie.Jon Foo plays the legendary Jin Kazama who fighting skills must pit his training to the test as he fights in tekken death match.his mother Jun Kazamar who played by Tamlyn Tomita taught him to be strong & fight with heart.Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa plays the legendary tekken master Heihachi Mishima who runs the biggest world army in control of the world.Ian Anthony Dale plays jin father Kazuya Mishima a spoiled rich power hungry man bent on controlling the company for him self.Luke Goss plays a retired fighter that organizes fights for money helps jin into the fight arena.Gary Daniels (fist of the north star) awesome marshal artist 10 time world taekwondo champion plays the legendary fight half human & half cyborg Bryan Fury.also in the film as fighters are Darrin Dewitt Henson as Raven, Marian Zapico as Anna Williams,Lateef Crowder as Eddy Gordo, Roger Huerta as Miguel Rojo, the beautiful Kelly Overton as Christie Monteiro, Cung Le as Marshall Law, stunning Candice Hillebrand as Nina Williams beautiful fighter.This film to me was ok wasnt the best marshal arts film ive seen but still good to watch,some stunning girl & good fight scenes.

Dislikes : There is one thing about this film they changed like they did with doom & that the storyline because jin & Kazuya have a curse that runs through there blood,that is of the devils form which they have taken from this story.it was two short not enough fighting in the arena & a few character were missing as well.

Overall : its an ok marshal arts film,some good fight scenes,some good eye candy.

Rating: 3 out of 5 for marshal arts theme, 5 out of 10 for game theme movie.
