D.O.A

OK so this may not be anywhere near to a Oscar nomination (the picture to the right demonstrates that.) but I really have fun with this movie. There isn't much to comment on, one review of the movie pretty much sums it up. “ Half naked babes Kung-fu fighting...sit back, relax and enjoy.” This is so true, there's action and there's bikinis...and...well thats about it, but that is all they need with a movie like this. I am not saying this is the type of movie that is so bad it's good, no, the action is extremely engaging, the dialogue has it's wit and charm at times, and the women look good, and act well. It never takes itself to seriously and it puts little tributes to the game franchise for the fans to enjoy, such as the volleyball scene.
 
The story is about 3 beautiful but deadly fighters, all trained in there own unique style and who all get invited to a fighting competition called D.O.A to slug it out for a $10m cash prize. We have the very proud and noble Princess Kasumi played by Devon Aoki (2 Fast 2 Furious, Sin City), the sultry master thief Christie played by Holly Valance (Yes the singer but don't let that put you off, she is a good actress.), and finally the sexy superstar pro-wrestler Tina Armstrong played by Jamie Pressly (My Name Is Earl) These three start as enemies but soon team up to uncover the tournaments sinister secret.
You will not regret buying this movie and sitting back with some friends and watching it.
