Reaction: Not exactly a hit domestically, but our first theatrical Tekken video game film was a big enough hit overseas to earn the studio a decent-sized profit.
"Tekken has way too many characters and way too many storylines and it fails to tell one solid story with all the pieces it throws around. Movies like this need a clear hero for the audience to follow, but no characters stand out from the herd to take that mantle." - Dave Manning, Ridgefield Press
"Tekken: Blood Feud tries to focus on so many different things and characters that it becomes borderline impossible to follow everything. It's not a trainwreck as there are some good action scenes thanks to the direction of Chad Stahelski. I'd be interested in seeing what the franchise has in store in the future, but writer Billy Cruder really needs to find a way to focus the material better." - Cal Crowe, Washington Globe
"While this is not my cup of tea and felt muddled at times, it is aided by Cruder's clear care for the material and a proper level-up for the franchise's first theatrical release with Stahelski at the helm." - Michael St. Felix, The Charlotte Observer
Rated R for intense brutal violence throughout
