Review of Dead or Alive: Final (2002) by Ian B — 03 May 2011
Very much influence by movies like Blade Runner and Nemesis. There is a lot of boring drama scenes tied together by wacky futuristic "Jetsons for Adults" scenes. MIIKE FANS: If you like City of Lost Souls, but think it would be cool in a sci-fi setting, you might like this. Riki Takeuchi is awesome in whatever he's in though.
The whole film keeps a nice looking futuristic setting that doesn't look too far from reality because it is a probable future. Miike uses a dark yellow tint for his color correction/film stock(not sure), as well as shooting a desolate cityscape that looks apocalyptic and very worn down version of Yokohama. it look like a different world than the one we're in.
