DOA: Dead or Alive

DOA: Dead or Alive

When you think DOA, you think Bouncing Boobs, a fighting game that has bouncing boobs. You see, most fighting game fans have better games on their list, like Street Fighter, Tekken, Soul Caliber and Mortal Kombat, but there seems to be a younger crowd that likes seeing polygon breasts over a good fighting game. They’re usually the guys that don’t have any means to see real breasts. Don’t get me wrong, I like the games, but I think the publishers are trying to milk the series for every cent. Remember that volleyball spin off game?

For some reason, someone thought it would be a good idea to make a movie out of this over hyped game series. So, how do you translate the game to a movie-going audience? Well, not very well.

With very poor acting and bad dialogue, there’s only one thing going for this movie. That’s right, good-looking people and tons of ass shots. The story is dumb and not worth mentioning.

Devon Aoki as Kasumi just proves that she is no actor, but she’s cute though. Jaime Pressly is playfully entertaining as Tina Armstrong and is the only person in the movie that seems to be enjoying themselves here. Eric Roberts is sleepwalking through the whole movie.

The actual martial arts moves are good, but the hectic editing just distracts from some of the better fight scenes. They also feel the need to add the HUD from the videogames. The MTV film-making is annoying.

If you like seeing sweaty hot women fighting each other, but not much else then this movie is for you.

Grade: D+

They read my mind.
