TEKKEN (DVD Release USA 2011)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 2.4|5.0 Starsìì

Tekken—fashioned after a computer game of the same name—serves an exceptionally narrow audience due to little character depth, uninteresting storyline, and inability to remove itself from the borders that surround the video game.

Storyline

Jin Kazama revenges his dead mother.
