Streetfighter- The Legend of Chun-Li (2009)
Director:
Andrzej BartkowiakWriter:
Justin Marks (screenplay)Stars:
Kristin Kreuk, Neal McDonough, Michael Clarke DuncanDaddies and daughters lend a wistful emotional core to “Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li,” an otherwise generic martial-arts movie with video-game credentials. Selling the wistfulness is Kristin Kreuk as Chun-Li, a tranquil concert pianist turned reluctant crimefighter when her adored father is abducted by a Bangkok baddie (Neal McDonough). Chun-Li polishes her fan kick and fights to save Bangkok’s slum dwellers from the demolition plans of a powerful crime cartel. Trying to help are a darling Interpol cop (Chris Klein) and a leather-clad detective (Moon Bloodgood) with gold handcuffs, which she stores on her headboard. Reveling in the vivid Bangkok locations, Geoff Boyle’s photography is crisp and bright, and Dion Lam’s action choreography unusually witty.
