freydis-e This is better than other computer beat-em-up adaptations like Streetfighter and Mortal Kombat. The plot makes more sense and is more interesting than either of those movies, while managing to stay closer to the original games. Essentially this is 'Enter the Dragon' with (lots of) women, though it lacks the dark and dangerous edge of that earlier movie. As ever, Cory Yuen does a good job with the many fight scenes, despite working mostly with non-martial-artists. The production has an expensive feel, and it's surprising that the budget didn't run to more impressive stars.The main attraction here is the procession of gorgeous super-feisty women, often wearing very little – pure exploitation, but this too is faithful to the original computer games, right down to the beach volleyball. Sadly, while looking good, these are not great actresses. Jaime Pressley is pick of the bunch – while not big enough physically for Tina Armstrong, she brings a personality which fills the screen. Devon Aoki never brings much personality to anything, but this may well be her best performance after DEBS. Holly Valance, sadly, is barely an actress at all and the male support is pretty drab, with Steve Howey as a stereotyped nerd the pick of a bad bunch. Anyone who knows who Kevin Nash is should get a laugh from his performance as Bass. It's disappointing that, after the female leads have been built up well early on, they then spend too much time sidelined, while various dull and characterless men fight one another.Fans of the games may enjoy this. Anyone who enjoys watching half-dressed women fighting will too. For others it's good mindless fun, but don't go out of your way.

Sancy Jeg In this story the best fighters of the world are invited to a competition known as DOA: DEAD OR ALIVE. The last one who wins will be awarded as 'The Best Fighter' in the world and awarded with ten million dollars. This movie is interesting action movie. I suggest that everyone should go for it. Don't miss this amazing.

Jackson Booth-Millard When I set about seeing this film, I had no idea it was based on a video game series, but it does make sense, especially when I read about what it was about, I just fancied something simple to watch really, directed by Corey Yuen (The Transporter). Basically "Dead or Alive" (DOA) is a martial arts tournament on an isolated island within an advanced complex where the world's best fighters participate in a contest, the loser who gets knocked-out will be forced to leave the island and return home, the winner will receive the ultimate prize of $10 million. Three female fighters are chosen to take part, they are Ninja princess Kasumi (Sin City's Devon Aoki), professional wrestler Tina Armstrong (My Name Is Earl's Jaime Pressly), and master thief and assassin Christie Allen ("Kiss Kiss" singer Holly Valance). Arriving on the island by aeroplane and parachute, Christie, Tina and Kasumi find out they are not just fighting for the championship, they are going against tournament master Donovan (Eric Roberts), the late tournament founder's teenage daughter Helena Douglas (Final Destination 2's Sarah Carter). Kasumi left her kingdom in search of her brother Hayate (Collin Chou) who disappeared a year ago at the tournament, Tina is taking part to prove she is not a fake when fighting, and Christie and her lover and treacherous partner Maximillian 'Max' Marsh (Resident Evil: Extinction's Matthew Marsden) plan to break into a vault on the island, of course Donovan has his own agenda and other plans of exploitation for the female fighters. Also starring Kane Kosugi as Hayabusa, Natassia Malthe as Ayane and Derek Boyer as Bayman. The cast all do their parts fine, there is an alright sort of story going on, and some fight scenes are well edited, but it felt like a big mash- up of Charlie's Angels and Mortal Kombat taking place on a Tracy Island, and I was much more distracted by the beautiful women kicking ass and semi-naked with fabulous figures in bikinis almost the whole way through, overall it is an average martial arts action adventure. Okay!

Anssi Vartiainen I cannot help it, I simply love this movie. Sure, it's stupid. It's oh so stupid. On the surface, and really, deep down as well, it's nothing more than needless fanboy pandering. It's hot chicks in skimpy bikinis jumping and gyrating as they attempt to punch the lights out of one another. Oh, and there's an evil bad guy attempting to take over the world and the hot chicks in skimpy bikinis have to stop it. Or something, I honestly didn't pay too much attention.But it's just so much fun! So, let me enjoy my smut, just this once. Sure, it's demeaning to my intellect, sure it's brainless, sure it makes little to no sense. But, then again, it's not like the original video game was any better. It was hot chicks in skimpy bikinis, you guessed it, jumping and gyrating. You could even argue that this is one of the more accurate and faithful video game adaptations there is.Plus, the movie honestly looks great. All the actors look phenomenal, it's bright and colourful all around, the fight choreographs are amazing, the camera work is actually pretty impressive and all around I have no complains on the technical side of things. I kind of wish the second half of the movie was as much fun as the first, but I guess they had to at least try to have something resembling a story. Not that people are going to watch this movie for its story, but they had to try.DOA is a great deal of fun. It's dumb, but harmless, and immensely entertaining. If you're a red-blooded male, you will find something worthwhile in it.
