Critic Reviews

TV Guide Magazine Ken Fox

Compulsively watchable. Read full review

Elizabeth Weitzman

Takashi Miike is a master at making love-'em-or-loathe-'em spectacles, but even fans are likely to consider the final film of his Dead or Alive trilogy a minor entry in his oeuvre. Read full review

V.A. Musetto

The movies of prolific and popular Japanese director Takashi Miike evoke many emotions -- nausea, excitement, awe, amazement, shock. One emotion they don't often evoke is boredom. Sad to say,Dead or Alive: Final is boring. Read full review

Derek Elley

It's a silly but enjoyable farrago from the cult quickie-meister, again set in an amoral universe-on-a-budget. Read full review

Scott Tobias

In Dead Or Alive: Final, Miike trades his grimly comic, sex-and-blood insignia for a self-consciously wacky conflation of Hong Kong action cinema and Japanese anime, with a little cheap science fiction tossed in for good measure. Read full review

Stephen Holden

The home-movie crudeness of Dead or Alive: Final indicates it was made on the cheap with minimal preparation. Read full review

Michael Atkinson

Scene-by-scene, things happen, but you'd be hard-pressed to say what or why; occasionally, a poetic moment leaps out of the soup. Read full review
