Review of Tekken (2010) by Allan C — 19 Aug 2015
It's flawed script, lazy cinematography, technical errors, and uninspired direction are vastly overshadowed by a very good looking production design, wildly entertaining old school action, and some decent performances by it's three leads, Jon Foo, Cary Tagawa, and Ian Anthony Dale.
Most of the hardcore fans will be disappointed by the darker, semi-realistic liberties taken, and fans of specific characters will also be let down as alot don't show up (King, Paul Phoenix, and Kuma for obvious reasons), or have very little screen-time. (Law, Nina, Anna, Eddy).
However, if you want action, or you're a casual Tekken player...it's definitely worth a look. It does manage to replicate the feel, and subsequently, the fast and furious fun of the game. While there are quite a bit of negatives, the pluses outweigh the negatives, and this has to be one of the better game adaptations out there.
