Viewing Notes

When I looked up Tekken (2010) I saw there was another recent film so I ordered it. It’s like a well-crafted cut-scene, albeit a 90 minute cut-scene. It’s batshit nuts with a plot one could only follow if they know the video game. I don’t so very little made any sense. But it’s highly entertaining with a couple of good leads and fight sequences. Also the background modeling is excellent. The Kyoto locations look perfect, exact reproductions of places I’ve been to and seen in person. Not really a 7 star film but I give it an extra star for those reasons.
