Monique Ganderton was born in Edmonton Alberta Canada. She has always had a passion for sports and adventure. She achieved  high levels of track and field, equestrian and is also a certified snowboard instructor. She was involved in diving, gymnastics, softball, figure skating and dabbled in martial arts.

A familiar story, Monique was discovered at a local shopping mall in Edmonton by a modeling agent and agreed to give
it a try. She moved to Toronto at 18 to pursue modeling and  whatever else would spark some fire in her.

A few days on set watching a stuntwoman shoot the place up triggered an internal passion for action. Monique soon pursued stunt work adamantly. Her first Stunt gig came on the recruit  where she met the fabulous Bridget Moynahan and inspiring  Al Pacino. The job was amazing and secured Monique as an up and coming stuntwoman and stunt actor. Bridget would later go on to request Monique for Irobot in Vancouver.

Monique has been working full time as an actor and stuntwoman for the last six years. She has appeared in features like Watchmen, Xmen: The Last Stand, Irobot, White Chicks, Resident Evil: Extinction, Underworld: Evolution, Wickerman, In the Name of The King, and 2012. Monique co-starred in ABC Family miniseries Fallen, air date in 2007. In 2008 she landed a Guest star role in the ABC pilot Inseparable, created by Shawn Cassidy and directed by Rob Bowman. Monique then went to co-star in the feature King OF Fighters, a support role in Dolph Lundgren’s Icarus and a star role in Another Day In Hell.  All are to be released in the coming year of 2009.  In 2009 Monique has performed on upcoming series Human Target, Smallville, a yet to be titled Joss Whedon/Drew Goddard Project and Tron.  She also looks forward to re-curing role in pilot “The Trainer”. Monique is continually pursuing her true love of performing.

Monique has doubled Sigourney Weaver, Tricia Helfer, Bridget Moynahan, Leelee Sobieski, Darryl Hannah, Famke Jensen, Rebecca Romijn, Karen Cliché, Stacy Keibler, Amanda Tapping, Mandy Moore, Monica Schnarre, Amelia Cooke

Things have been relatively low key for the film version of the video game, and perhaps rightly so since it’s not automatic that films from Japanese video games, manga and animation make that dignified live-action leap onto the silver screen, most falling short in the process – last year’s disastrous Dragon Ball Evolution and the lacklustre Street Fighter Legend of Chun Li being very recent examples of the bad aftertaste left at the box office. Audience these days demand a lot more, and the in-built fan base no longer representing a ready market, but a base of high expectations that are difficult to meet even as they are aware some tweaks to characters and story lines are necessary for the change of medium. This Gordon Chan directed effort however, is expected to fall short given the extremely flimsy, cookie cutter storyline that reeks, and for an action film, the cardinal sin of having limited action, almost all of which are left to the last 30 minutes.

Maggie Q marquees this film as Mai Shianui, working undercover for Terry Bogard (David Leitch) of the CIA (I hear yawns already) to hook up with Iori Yagami (Will Yun Lee) who teaches her the background myth of having a necklace and a mirror combined to open a door to another dimension. There’s a sword in the picture as well belonging to the Kusanagi clan, but one rumored to be lost, and required by chief villain Rugal Bernstein (Ray Park) in order to reign supreme in the King of Fighters MMORPG since he’s stolen the other two items and tweaked the system so that his rules apply in the virtual world and is working to combine all dimensions and realms into one. That’s basically it, with the heroes trying to convince the Kusanagi clan heir Kyo (Sean Faris who plays a half-Japanese, that explains his Caucasian looks) to cough out the legendary sword, and stop Rugal from destroying civilization.

What’s neat is how Rita Augustine and Matthew Ryan Fischer managed to fuse the fantastical elements of the fights that nods at the Matrix experience, with combatants jacked in through bluetooth-like earpieces in order to fight in the virtual MMORPG dimension complete with superhuman powers from the game, though the fights during the first hour had just a very little glimpse of what the finale would promise. The King of Fighters then is a tournament where combatants rise in the ranks through each victory, though with the compromise now by Rugal, death in the dimension also means death in the real world.

What didn’t work, happens to be a lot of things. For starters, we have the usual cardboard characters (OK, so this is based on a video game) with CIA agents, hokey Japanese philosophy talk, and just about every situation, setting and background of the characters being extremely contrived. As mentioned the first hour of the film is talk, talk and more talk on the usual genre themes like responsibility and destiny, Then you have heroes who are reluctant and blur, and how one gets transformed from zero to hero is absolutely baffling based on pep talks from memory. The quest for the Kusunagi sword also happens in the most roundabout fashion just to bloat the film’s runtime, and amongst all the characters, Terry Bogard happens to be the most carelessly designed on screen with that out of place jacket and baseball cap (keeping to the game I know), with a really obnoxious, ignorant attitude, and a CIA dimwit a-hole to boot.

The fight sequences happened to be a mixed bag, though Hong Kong influences are very heavy in the way the fisticuffs are designed. Special effects inspired by the game are also limited, which is most unfortunate as the game is famed for the various combo-moves that the characters can execute, which is all but lost in the film version. Even then, whatever effects all seemed to be reserved for the extended battle sequence at the finale for an all-out duke out, and audiences will have to be patient with all the talk for the first hour before things start to get remotely interesting since all the money shots get concentrated toward the end.

Naturally movies of this nature will have an ending primed for sequels to continue where it left off especially when the box office response is positive, but my money’s on the “Nay” list. If I have to compare, then this is ahead of Dragonball and The Legend of Chun Li, but only just.
