So cringey, so ... aimed at horny 13-year-olds and so devoid of any well shot or acted moment I just grew more and more fed up. Not even good to watch for a laugh.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jun 17, 2020

I do not recommend DOA: Dead or Alive, not even to the most hardcore fan of video games. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Mar 14, 2017

Yuen's propensity for impossible computer-generated slow-mo combat action wears thin.

A metaphorical training bra for ogling boys - along with second childhood Dirty Old Aged men - DOA gives new meaning to females hooking up and hanging out, when it comes to airborne upper body intimate wear and its gravity defying plastic contents alike

This film knows its genre and its audience.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 14, 2007

Let's hope some special form of punishment awaits the man or woman who came up with the idea of basing movies on video games.

| Original Score: 0/5 | Jun 30, 2007

It's all about as thrilling as watching the countryside whiz by in the car.

There is enough masturbation fodder here to keep many 11-year-old kids who have yet to find daddy's porn stash very happy.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jun 23, 2007

DOA might as well stand for "Dead on Arrival."

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 22, 2007

If you only ever see one bad movie about warrior chicks who meet on a tropical isle for a fight contest, make it DOA: Dead or Alive.

| Original Score: B | Jun 20, 2007

DOA is a bad, cheesy and cheap production that nevertheless has enough goofy appeal to warrant watching with your buddies...

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jun 20, 2007

Quantcast The plot is but an excuse for a series of elaborately choreographed fight sequences featuring a combination of digital and wire work that somehow manages to feel completely fake despite the obvious physical exertions of its well-trained cast.

Full Review | Jun 19, 2007

There was a time when movies like DOA: Dead or Alive lurked sheepishly at schoolboy height on video store shelves, spines straining to accommodate the charms of their actresses.

Charlie's Angels, Survivor, American Gladiators and Girls Gone Wild are just some of the bad influences on Hong Kong action director Corey Yuen's laughably silly adaptation of the video game DOA: Dead or Alive.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jun 18, 2007

Charlie's Angels 3 it ain't, but big up to director Corey Yuen for crafting a splashy and appropriately trashy fighting flick that chicks can cheer for.

| Original Score: B | Jun 18, 2007

While 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.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 18, 2007

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.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jun 18, 2007

DOA: Dead or Alive aspires to be nothing more than a sanctuary from thinking.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 18, 2007

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.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 17, 2007

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.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Jun 17, 2007
