Review of DOA: Dead or Alive (2006) by Ivan M — 12 Nov 2013
Bass (Kevin Nash): Tina! It's showtime!
Tina Armstrong (Jaime Pressly): Dad! Not now I'm in my underwear.
Christie Allen (Holly Valance): Which I hate. Why you can't just sleep in the nude like me I'll never know.
Bass (Kevin Nash): Oh my god.
Tina Armstrong (Jaime Pressly): No Dad, she's just another fighter. We're just sleeping together.
Bass (Kevin Nash): Yeah I can see that.
Tina Armstrong (Jaime Pressly): No. I mean we're not sleeping together. We're just... sleeping.
I have to admit that as far as cinema goes, this D.O.A. was D.O.A., as in "dead on arrival" as well as a PoS. But there was something cool about seeing characters from a beloved animated fighting game in a live-action film. The action sequences were alright, the guys and gals did a good job, wires and all; I mean, it wasn't "Enter the Dragon" but the fight scenes were pretty entertaining enough and mimics the video game, it was actually charming in that aspect. The worse part of the film was Eric Roberts, if they were going to cast a mediocre actor to be the main villain, they should have just gone with one of many martial arts actors who can really fight, then the last battle would have been at least awesome. I tried to stop watching so many times but I convinced myself I need to see the entire film to give it an accurate review-- and yes, my eyes are now punching my brain; but seriously, this was tad entertaining even with bad acting, silly plot and uninspired dialogue, but only because I was fan of the game, otherwise I can't see wasting an hour and change of life on this film.
