Reviews for DOA: Dead or Alive
Top CriticA film that boys aged 12 to 15 are going to lap up thanks to endless shots of Valance and her curvy co-stars in their swimsuits. But with a plot even flimsier than the bikinis, there’s nothing here for the rest of us.

The performances are so wooden that things improve when Eric frickin’ Roberts turns up with a bad wig.

Top CriticThe über-villain is played, very tragically indeed, by poor Eric Roberts, brother of Julia, and he walks and talks as if his head has been used for kickboxing practice.

Yes, this is a genuinely terrible film. But it's also good fun.

An ideal vehicle for Yuen, who is a dab hand at filming imaginative hand-to-hand combat sequences.

Top CriticIf you're a 15 year old boy, this stands every chance of becoming your favourite film in the entire world. At the very least it's the best movie adaptation of a video game so far.

A videogame-based movie that's so bad, you won't believe it wasn't directed by Uwe Boll!

Corey Yuen and his writers have adapted their dubiously titled DOA: Dead or Alive from the video game series of the same name -- apparently convinced that the scraps of backstory originally scribbled by the gamers were plenty.

Like Mortal Kombat with more exposition... They've already got the tight, muscular bodies glistening with sweat, rain and various forms of mist, kicking ass in their underwear... So why so much story?

Tão divertido quanto acompanhar, por 90 minutos, duas pessoas jogando videogame sem jamais podermos participar da brincadeira.

Call it the Guilty Pleasure of the year for me. Hell, it's a heck of a lot more entertaining than Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle.
06/17/07
Unquestionably brain-dead, but also a great example of unpretentious, second-gear celluloid, generated quickly, cheaply -- and for the fun of it.

Top CriticIf Corey Yuen believed in truth in advertising, ala Snakes on a Plane, this flick would have a name like Jiggly Babes Kick Butt. The stuff that post-pubescent dreams are made of.

Top CriticWhile the teen target audience may be convinced that this is exciting, the rest of us will leave the theater exhausted and with brain cells thoroughly fried.
