DOA: Dead or Alive Movie Review
There are only a handful of martial arts movies that can stand up to Kill Bill,
and this isn't one of them. :P It is though, a film that is not going to tax your brain at all. Just sit back and enjoy it for what it is - a sugary dollop of eye candy.
It stars the lovely ladies Devon Aoki (Sin City), Holly Valance, and Jaime Pressly, who are scantily clad for most of the running time (1 hr 27 mins). At times it resembles a computer game in the style of Tekken, or Mortal Kombat, with loud music, and bone crunching THWACK sounds.
The plot, well what passes for a plot rambles along at quite a speed. It's just an excuse for one fight after another, but why not? The duels between contestants are beautifully choreographed with lots of wire work used, so much so, that the fighters seem to spend more time in the air than on the ground. I would recommend this movie for anyone with Attention Deficit Disorder as scenes don't last very long. It doesn't take itself seriously at all, very much like My Super-Ex Girlfriend, but I prefer this one. What's not to like? Babes kicking ass, and sporting samurai swords. :)
Did I mentions that there is beach volleyball?
