DOA - DEAD OR ALIVE (2006) (a review)


This is a silly martial arts movie with beautiful woman as the ultimate fighters. Loosely based on a team ninja game of the same name. It stars Holly Valance, Jaime Pressly, Devon Aoki, Sarah Carter and Natassia Malthe. Directed by Corey Yuen. Produced by Paul W.S. Anderson.

The story: a bunch of beautiful woman who are expert marial artists are invite to a mysterious island for a DOA match -- matches to the death.

Was it good?

Kind of. Honestly, I watched it a while ago and barely remember anything specific about it. I assume there was a plot (I remember some element of mystery or intrigue), but really it's a bunch of really hot women doing crazy fun martial arts. If you go in expecting anything special or deep you mght be disappointed, but if you are just looking for some crazy fun with action and eye candy then this is a solid choice. (It's mainly PG eye candy -- if you want more, you need to go to Skinemax.)
