If 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.

Reviews for DOA: Dead or Alive
Smarmy, lasciviously trashy, butt-kicking bikini-jiggle fest
06/16/07
If junior high school boys wrote a cheesecake syndicated TV show and spun it off into a movie, the result would be DOA: Dead or Alive.

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?

A videogame-based movie that's so bad, you won't believe it wasn't directed by Uwe Boll!
06/15/07
The action has more to do with digital effects than true martial artistry, and is targeted squarely at adolescent boys too young to rent porn and gamers too lazy to yank their own joysticks.

D.O.A.: Dead or Alive can easily be described as 'Hot chicks kicking ass in string bikinis.' And there's nothing wrong with that.
06/15/07
Unquestionably brain-dead, but also a great example of unpretentious, second-gear celluloid, generated quickly, cheaply -- and for the fun of it.
06/14/07
Praise be to director Corey Yuen for delivering one of the year’s purest entertainments -- the best butt-kicking PG-13 bikini jiggle fest since the first Charlie’s Angels flick.
06/14/07
Top CriticD.O.A. is meant to be a high-flying, low-cut, bloody-knuckled diversion, not a Eugene O'Neill adaptation. The picture gets the bone-breaking footage just right.

It's got hot babes in bikinis kung-fu fighting - what more do you want of a movie?
05/28/07
Tão divertido quanto acompanhar, por 90 minutos, duas pessoas jogando videogame sem jamais podermos participar da brincadeira.

as eager as anyone with a joystick in his hand, and sets up fights in quick succession, only occasionally taking a breath for a spot of volleyball among the contestants
10/19/06
The film's pretty much nonstop fighting, mostly in very little clothing, with the flair you expect from a master choreographer like Yuen. It's awesome.
10/17/06
Top CriticThe performances are so wooden that things improve when Eric frickin’ Roberts turns up with a bad wig.
09/23/06
A 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.
09/23/06
An ideal vehicle for Yuen, who is a dab hand at filming imaginative hand-to-hand combat sequences.
09/23/06
If 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.
09/23/06
The 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.
