Street Fighter, as a property, presents an interesting challenge for adaptations. The video game series has been a mainstay for decades, with a sense of style that infuses the openly absurd narrative with a sense of self-aware but fully committed charm. Recreating that in live-action can be difficult, as it requires a cast and crew fully committed to the strange, silly, and staggering world around it.

In that sense, Kitao Sakurai's new movie is a rousing success. It's a fast-paced flex of a film, with plenty of memorable fight scenes and a self-assured style that leaves a strong impression. It's flashy enough that it even blinds the audience at times to the rougher edges of the underlying script.
