Teenage boys are going to love it
I love martial arts movies and in particular Cory Yuen films. No Retreat, No Surrender 3: Blood Brothers is a favourite. Having previously done great work with Jason Statham in The Transporter I had pretty high hopes. But I had reservations – this was a starring role for Holly Valance after all.

It wasn’t everything I hoped it would be. Compared to the raw energy of Crank, DOA was committee film-making as usual. Colourful and featuring plentiful (reasonable) action DOA is only interesting in the opportunities it presents to draw comparison to others.

Borrowing stylistic and casting ideas from Charlie’s Angels and Kill Bill, DOA is essentially Mortal Kombat and Streetfighter combined. Drawing parallels to Enter the Dragon too, there is nothing original or inventive.

Kane Kosugi benefits most from the choreography. He has a sequence on a flight of stairs which is brilliant and brutal – very similar to his scenes in his Japanese breakthrough vehicle Blood Heat. Elsewhere, while the film sexes up the concept of the tournament/video game movie, it’s fatal flaw is that it’s heroines don’t convince. In Charlie’s Angels they did.

Cory is notable for doing more than his share of fighting femme movies back in Hong Kong, including the recent So Close, but none are classic. DOA should have featured support from the likes of Cynthia Rothrock and Michelle Yeoh rather than Eric Roberts and Robin Shou. The girls are pure eye candy. Only Pressley comes close to credibility – because she has an impressive physique and attitude. Holly flutters her eyes at Coronation Street’s Matthew Marsden while forcing an English accent. Devon Aoki lacks charisma.

The incorporation of the video game elements such as the character intros, K.O. freeze frames etc works really well and the costume design and production design brings the game to life brilliantly. You believe in the exaggerated world and that is key. But ultimately this is little more than a time waster.

A decent popcorn movie but nothing new for action fans.

A movie male gamers wouldn’t want to miss!
DoA: Dead or Alive is quite a good movie but you can tell it’s pretty much going to be two thumbs-up for men. The story is pretty basic and doesn’t really go into much detail but it’s good and it’s mildly entertaining. In the games, the characters have their own individual stories so the movie is different to the game but the movie works. The acting isn’t bad although there were times when it could have been much better. The actress who stood out to me was Jaime Pressly who was pro-wrestler Tina Armstrong, I thought she gave out a great performance and it was nice to see her in this movie. However the same can not be said for Devon Aoki who lacked showing any emotion as Kasumi. The characters were fantastically done and stuck to the game brilliantly and they also look like their characters too so that was also a plus. The cinematography and the camera-work were very well done and the choreography for the fight scenes were brilliantly executed.

As a fan of the Dead or Alive games, I can safely say that this is better than most video game movies out there. It might lack a plot but it’s not a film to be taken too seriously, it’s just a no-brainer fun movie. I liked seeing Jaime Pressly in the movie as I am a big fan of My Name is Earl. There are reviews out there that mostly say that this movie is for the men and I have to say, I can’t really disagree. From hot women fighting in bikinis most of the time to Jaime Pressly and Holly Valance getting a little close, I doubt that the female audience would like it as much as the male audience would. I felt that it needed more of a story and a plot but it’s nice to actually see a movie that hasn’t got much of a story and still find it fun.
