Im Jahr 2039 haben die Weltkriege die Menschheit nahezu ausgelöscht. Die Kontinente werden nicht mehr von Regierungen, sondern von mächtigen Konzernen wie dem Mishima Zaibatsu geleitet. Dessen Boss, Heihachi Mishima, ist Veranstalter von Tekken. Der größte Kampfsportwettbewerb soll die Massen bei Laune halten und verspricht dem Sieger ewige Anerkennung. Auch der rebellische Street Fighter Jin Kazama (John Foo) möchte daran teilnehmen. Seine Motivation: Blutige Rache an Heihachi, den er für den Tod seiner Mutter verantwortlich macht. Geplagt von seinen inneren Dämonen, bestreitet Jin das King of Iron Fist Tournament. Im Verlauf des Turniers offenbart sich ihm dabei die dunkle Seite des Mishima-Imperiums und er entdeckt ein geheimes Projekt, welches die Welt für immer verändern könnte. (Verleiher-Text)

I never played the game and I also wasn’t planning on watching the movie. But on a rainy morning, with a slight hangover, I found it to be a perfectly adequate palliative. When the anti-system rebellion started, I was surprised that the runtime was long past the halfway mark. True, the editing is a tragedy, and arena fights have an unattainable dimension in the company of Yuri Boyka, but... whatever, I had a solid time with it.

I no longer believed that in a new film I would see a scene where the hero is losing a fight, remembers the words of a loved one, and wins. Here you can see that four times!!!! I shook my head in disbelief many times over the utter and overall stupidity of the film, but between that I had more fun than I expected. Tekken is basically a very undemanding mind breather, it wasn’t that bad (though I don’t know the game).

A few nice fights, that's pretty much all this movie has to offer. It's all kind of over-the-top, but in the end, it's not really worth it. The screenplay absolutely fails to captivate and the main hero is always essentially defeated, only to suddenly find enough strength to win anyway. I haven't played the game and this certainly isn't a reason to start.
