Review: I've given this two stars because, while certainly not ... more ... the worst film I've ever seen, I think it missed some opportunities to be a truly enjoyable flick.
Allow me to quickly explain: The girls are all played well and are suitably hot. The fight scenes are well coreographed and suitably reflect the game from which the film is based upon. However look through the deleted scenes and wonder if they ever really needed to be taken out at all in the first place. It certainly wouldn't damage the film, and in some ways would go to bring it up one more star. Some more background, ...more |

DOA: Dead or Alive (DVD): Dead or Alive? Quite Alive I'd say! (315 words)

DOA: Dead or Alive is based on the very successful series of video games by the same title. As I have never played these games they have no influence of my review of the film. The film tells the tale of the best martial artists in the world who take part in a "winner takes all" competition. Dead or Alive is definitely aimed at a male audience and this is evident by the leading cast. The main trio are Devon Aoki, Holly Valance and Jaime Pressly who kick ass in their tight fitting clothing. Yep, definitely one for the guys. Eye candy aside, which is very difficult in this film, there is still some other positives left to cover - ...

Films based on video games have produced very mixed results. At best they qualify as enjoyable, at worst (and that is the norm) they end up being rubbish, trying to fit in parts of a game into a storyline to appease all and generally failing. Games that actually have plots are generally the worst ones, Silent Hill & Doom for example. If they don’t have much of a plot they tend to be better, mainly because the writers can do their own story around the basic premise of the game. Dead Or Alive (DOA henceforth) fits into the second category, it takes the basics of the game, the one on one fighting competition, and expands it into an actual storyline. ...

Some people have described me as a madman. Others cross the road in fear of what I might do next. You see, I once admitted to being partial to a film based on a computer game. Please come back and let me explain. As a rule basing a film on a computer game is ridiculous as the majority of games have about as much storyline as an episode of the news. The gamer does not care about what the characters motives are as long as he can fire a giant machine gun or jump on a turtle’s head. Therefore, when a film is made of said game they invariably are aimless waffle. But sometimes I like to watch a bit of waffle and who can argue that there is not cheesy fun to be had with ...
