Critics Consensus

With a ridiculous plot and comical acting, checking one's brain at the door is required before watching DOA: Dead or Alive.

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.

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.

Rated: B

The Hollywood Reporter

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.

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.

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

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

Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são mais ou menos, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom, só algumas cenas de lutas salvaram um pouco o filme.

It's based on a video game, good fun, good fights, not to be taken seriously for a second 😀

A story that ain’t much interesting, but the movie is still fun to watch because of the surprisingly good action scenes.

Delivers exactly what it's supposed to. Over the top action with hot flexible bodies glistening in a picturesque fantasy martial arts world. Got to love it
