2009 Hollywood New Movies Director: Andrzej Bartkowiak“Street Fighter” Starring: Kristin Kreuk, Neal McDonough, Chris Klein, Edmund Chen“Street Fighter” has to offer (apart from Josie Ho’s brief but terrible impersonation of a lesbian) is Chris Klein as the hard-bitten Nash. Klein tries hard to give this cop some tough-guy swagger and seen-it-all cynicism, but none of it plays realistically. I can’t remember the last time I watched an actor fail to walk into a room convincingly, but Klein does it. Look for a YouTube montage of his “Street Fighter” performance to pop up any day now. Kreuk, from TV’s “Smallville,” has all the presence of the shampoo model she really is, allowing her to be outdone by some rotten acting of epic proportions. McDonough (whose recent big-screen work includes such legendary duds as “88 Minutes” and “I Know Who Killed Me”) lets his creepy blue-steel eyes do all the work; he’s the dude Meg Foster. (Remember her?) Michael Clarke Duncan, as Bison’s henchman, mugs and fake-laughs frantically when he’s not mangling the awful dialogue — lest we forget, this is a guy with an Oscar nomination. (Given that director Andrzej Bartkowiak was once the favored cinematographer of directors like Sidney Lumet, this last failing seems the most egregious.)
