Advantages: Beautiful women, great stunts and some mroe beautiful women Disadvantages: Silly storyline
DOA: Dead or Alive is based on the very successful series of video games by the same title. As I have never played these games they have no influence of my review of the film.
The film tells the tale of the best martial artists in the world who take part in a "winner takes all" competition.
Dead or Alive is definitely aimed at a male audience and this is evident by the leading cast. The main trio are Devon Aoki, Holly Valance and Jaime Pressly who kick ass in their tight fitting clothing. Yep, definitely one for the guys.
Eye candy aside, which is very difficult in this film, there is still some other positives left to cover - mainly, the fight scenes. I was pleasantly surprised that they are actually brilliantly choreographed. I expected this film to be very blasé about the fight scenes and rather just focus on exposing as ...
Advantages: Another compelling read from Peter James Disadvantages: Coincidences a bit too extreme
days I am rarely bowled over by fictional detectives. They always seem to be super cynical, hard-drinking womanisers and, although this may well prove to be the case in real life, it does become boring after a while. Roy Grace is one of the few detectives that has grown on me during the series. He is nothing out of the ordinary in himself, but he has an interesting history that has really drawn me in. His wife, Sandy, went missing several years before, never to be seen again. Roy is unsure whether she is dead or alive, and has found it hard to commit to another relationship in the past. However, he has finally met a woman he feels something for and wants to commit to. There are various hints that Sandy may suddenly come back into the story, and it really is proving compelling, for me at least, to wonder how Roy will react if she does ...

DVD Description
After a rapid-fire montage of two groups of gangsters, one Japanese, the other ethnic Chinese, killing each other and everybody else on screen, DEAD OR ALIVE's story begins when a police officer announces, Round up everybody who looks (suspicious), even if they aren't Chinese. The Chinese have been living in Japan for centuries, but have never been accepted or integrated into Japanese society. This larger conflict underlies the blood and gore of the two gangs vying to make a big drug purchase from a mainland Chinese gang. When Jojima (Show Aikawa) an otherwise honest cop, needs money for an operation for his daughter, he gets a loan from the head of the Japanese gang, but when his partner kills the brother of the leader of the Chinese mafia, Ryuichi (Riki Rakeuchi), a blood feud begins between the two men. DEAD OR ALIVE's fast-paced cinematic presentation, black humor, tongue-in-cheek satire, and misogynist sadism set it apart from similar films by Takeshi Kitano. Director Takashi Miike's earlier film, AUDITION, is known for its stunning ending, but here he builds up to a parody of the big showdown that is so hysterically comic that, borrowing from Monty Python and DR. STRANGELOVE, it reaches absolutely apocalyptic proportions.
