Austin Chronicle by

A piece of garbage and the best argument for reading books since the first pop-up appeared.

New York Daily News by Jack Mathews

"Charlie's Angels," "Survivor," "American Gladiators" and "Girls Gone Wild" are just some of the bad influences on Hong Kong action director Corey Yuen's laughably silly adaptation of the video game DOA: Dead or Alive.

The New York Times by Jeannette Catsoulis

Free of blood, bruises and visible trauma, DOA revels in its fakery. And though the film presents more exuberant female flesh than hiring day at Hooters, it's strictly for titillation.

Variety by Joe Leydon

So insubstantial that it practically evaporates on screen.

TV Guide Magazine by Ken Fox

The action has more to do with digital effects than true martial artistry, and is targeted squarely at adolescent boys too young to rent porn and gamers too lazy to yank their own joysticks.
