  Well portrayed
  
  A decent watch! The film stays relatively close to the game in terms of characters and storyline making it a good watch for Tekken fans. Also the action scenes ... read more »

  For fans of the game or MMA
  
  I'll keep this short. A good film if you like the game or just watching some extreme MMA. There is a plot and its enough to link the action together.

  Iron Miss!
  
  The film has one or two good moments, but is sadly lacking in every possible department; another wasted license opportunity.

  On a par with MK, but for different reasons.
  
  I guess my hopes were too high to expect an accurate recreation of the story from the games. Those stories were way too complex, far-fetched and most ... read more »

  The combat scenes aren't bad...
  
  ... but for a Tekken there's not enough of them and too much emphasis on the story which is idiotic and boring.
