The girls check their inhibitions at the beach and prepare for a series of fights that will test not only their strength, stamina, and endurance, but the very foundation of their dedication to the martial arts as well.

    DOA: Dead On Arrival. The person who chose this movie to watch has now been banned from ever having this privilege.

    Had it not been for three very beautiful and extremely fit ladies and some funny lines in the scipt i doubt this film would have been released, i didn't even watch the end once I guessed Tina wasn't going to win the competition, who knows what happens, and do i really care? no

    You'll probably love this film...If you're a 9 year old kid drooling over Jaime Pressly in a bikini that is. This film has got to be the stupidest action movie ever. I mean that's saying... ...( read more )

    How could this movie fail? It has good looking women and is based off of a video game.

    A terrible script and bad acting did it in anyway.

    I saw about the last 45 minutes of this very badly done movie. The premise was bad, the acting was bad, and the whole thing stunk.

    This film has a great cast, soundtrack, and story. It's very exciting to watch. I wish the female leads weren't so sexualized but I guess that's part of the fun for the audience. The special effects are laughable.

    Uhh, it was PRETTY good, I mean I didn't think a few characters looked alot like the ones from the game. But, those were only minor things. But, it wasn't really a bad movie. But, my favorite character Hitomi, wasn't there :(

    I just finished watching it, and yes, while there was plenty of slow motion t&a shots, I found myself thoroughly enjoying the movie. I don't play DoA enough to know about the backgrounds and story and whatnot. I just enjoyed it for what it was, a very much like "Crouching Tiger" movie. The fight scenes were awesome and it made me laugh. I even enjoyed Jaime Pressley's performance. So all in all it was good for me, something I'd watch again.

    I started to watch and didnt even bother to go through with it. Bad acting and a splash of that over the top "flying tiger" non-sense

    I haven't seen this movie, but it looks interesting, isn't the girl on the cover the girl that played a role in Sin City as a japanese assassin?
