Review of Tekken (2010) by Rebecca F — 27 Mar 2013
Watching this because I love the fighting game. I think the story is not quite right. The fight isn't very interesting and impacting. World war breaks out and the world is run by 8 different corporation.
Tekken run USA. There's the iron fist tournament every year. Jon Foo (Jin) lives in the slums, selling contraband items to hackers for money. He use the money buy rare items like coffee, orange, chocolate for his mum Tamlyn Tomita (Jun) who isn't happy he is wasting his talents.
Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa (Heihachi) runs Tekken and he isn't ready to give reign to his son Ian Anthony Dale (Kazuya). He is in charge of security during the tournament. The hacker team is foil by him.
Jin defy curfew and meet his girlfriend and they sex. Then the army hunt him down. Jun is held hostage and Kazuya call for missile attack killing her. Jin wants revenge and goes to the street. He enter an open call for the tournament and fight Cung Le (Marshall Law).
He manage to win and get the attention of the manager Luke Goss (Steve Fox) who ask him under his wing. It's tournament time. Jin chat up with sexy fighter Kelly Overton (Christie). Raven defeat Eddy, Jin defeat Miguel.
Kazuya is shock of his skills. Christie date Jin despite curfew. Kazuya match Jin DNA to Jun. After parting, Jin is attack by two assassins. Christie return to save him. Steve know Jun and say she is a good fighter during the tournament.
Nina and Anna Williams are hired by Kazuya to kill Jin that night and fails. Christie defeated Nina. Steve give Jin his gloves to fight Yoshimitsu. Heihachi wants to change the fighter and Kazuya defy him and overrule, taking control now.
Yoshimitsu is out to kill Jin. Heihachi is shock of the DNA match, Jin is the son of Kazuya. He activate the alarm and distract the fight. Jin defeated Yoshimitsu and escape but all are caught. Kazuya change the rule to fight to death.
Raven didn't like this shit and escape with the trio. They freed Heihachi to get out. Raven is caught. Heihachi tell Jin he save his mother after the tournament when he found her violated and also Kazuya is his father.
Heihachi and Steve are killed. Jin and Christie recapture to the tournament. Gary Daniels (Bryan Fury) killed Sergei. Raven tells Jin he can make it. Jin can't fight Bryan. Christie create distraction.
Jin reverse the fortune and kills him. Kazuya is furious he won and fights him. Jin nearly dead but he fight back and didn't kill him. He is the new champion. And he simply walks out and return home.
The ending is a load of crap. How can it be possible Kazuya is gonna let him off so easily..
