Movie Reviews of D.O.A. - Dead or Alive
Movie Review: Low budget, but highly entertaining over-the-top action!
Summary: 4 Stars
I had low expectations for this movie, but after playing and loving Dead or Alive 4 for the Xbox 360, I had to see this movie. The acting isn't the best, and some of the wire work is really fake, but the hot chicks and "B" rated feel of the movie, mad me love it anyway! As for the DVD itself. . . The picture quality is fairly poor, but the sound will knock you on your butt for sure. The short "making of" featurette is worth watching, but there is no other speacial features on the disc.
Overall I would say that anyone who likes the games, likes Hong Kong style movies, or just likes seeing hot chicks kicking a$$, should buy this movie. Especially for the price that amazon is asking! Just add it to another item to get over $[...] and you don't have to pay for shipping.
Summary of D.O.A. - Dead or Alive
Four gorgeous women are invited to a remote island to participate in a fighting tournament.Based on the popular video-game series, Corey (The Transporter) Yuen's DOA: Dead Or Alive brings together cheesecake titillation and martial-arts action in a lightweight slice of exploitation that's sure to keep its largely young and male audience happy. Jaime Pressly (My Name is Earl) is top-billed as a pro wrestler who joins a no-holds-barred brawling competition on a remote island; once there, she discovers that the tournament's sponsor, Donovan (Eric Roberts at his toothiest and oiliest), has nefarious plans up his sleeve, and the competitors (which include Devon Aoki, Holly Valance, and the always impressive Kane Kosugi) must bond together to fight a common enemy. As with 2007's The Condemned, DOA: Dead Or Alive is the 21st century equivalent of an early '70s drive-in movie: Proudly loud and lunkheaded, its main function is to cram as much fighting and bikini-clad women into its running time as possible, and to that end, it's enormously successful. Director Yuen understands this, and wisely skews the tone towards the broadly (ahem) tongue-in-cheek; Pressly (whose knack for comedy doesn't get as much mileage here) and the rest of her castmates look good and move well, and the fighting, while not on par with Hong Kong or Thai standards, is plentiful and flashy. If you come expecting this and nothing else, you'll have a fine time with DOA: Dead Or Alive. --Paul Gaita
