That Moment That Annoyed Me – Most of the acting.įinal Thoughts – This is a sequel that just doesn’t make us care about anything that is going on, it doesn’t even have fight tournament which is the whole point of the game. Settings – The film is set in Tekken city, we mostly focuses on the different classes of people living in this city, none of which are involved in the story. this isn’t the most engaging story and is easily one that could be missed.Īction – The action is the only highlight of the film, we have good fighting sequences which show of Kane Kosugi skills in combat. This is a slow-moving story that is rinse repeat even while trying to show us a twist in the final part of the film. This time we watch a man that can fight being trained into become an assassin in some sort of seedy crime-based film. Story – Tekken is a fighting game right, yes, I have played them, the first film bought us into a fighting tournament which is what we would accept. Performances – Kane Kosugi is solid enough for the action sequences but when it comes to the rest of the cast well, there is a reason not many people saw this movie, most of the acting is poor with painfully delivered lines that make little sense to the characters. We have a world filled with assassins, both deadly and misled. Bryan Fury is key to learning the truth, though we don’t see him enough. The Minister is the man who runs the assassins, he picks the candidates up, forcing them to follow instructions to become the killers he knows they could become. He must follow orders or be killed until he learns he may not be working for the right side. Going along with the program K uses his time to learn his true identity and motivation behind the Minster’s program.Ĭharacters – K or Kazuya is the man with amnesia, he has combat skills, weapon skills, but not memory of who he is, now forced into the Minister’s group of assassins he is killing people on command. trained to kill on command the group in Tekken city. ![]() ![]() Story: Tekken 2: Kazuya’s Revenge starts when K (Kosugi) wakes with amnesia, he is kidnapped by the Minister (Serbedzija) who forces him into his program, it is here he is assigned the name ‘K’.
