The main actors are adequate, with John Foo as Jin being a capable fighter and believable enough as an earnest and ultimately good-hearted guy. I have to mention that Tekken looks pretty good, with some impressive sets and a slick, high-budget veneer. The overuse of flashbacks gets a little old, but that's a much more minor issue than I was expecting Tekken to have. It helps that it makes at least an effort to keep some of the story and characters from the games, while offering frequent decent, if not great, fight scenes. Tekken can't help but look good in comparison to that. It probably helped that the bar is so low for video game adaptations, and that the last such movie I saw was King of Fighters, which was awful to an absurd degree. I'm as surprised to be saying that as you probably are to be reading it. "You will fight, the world will watch, and my legacy will be written with your blood." Tekken actually wasn't half-bad.
