Into this conventional plot framework Miike piles enough warped characters and bizarre, twisted happenings to fuel half-a-dozen Tarantino movies, while cheerfully borrowing--and inflating--key moments from such hard-boiled gangster-noirs as The Big Heat and Kiss Me Deadly. One character deep-fries his own hand, a stripper is drowned in a paddling-pool filled with her own excrement, and the literally apocalyptic finale, the showdown to end all showdowns, will leave you gasping. The appallingly prolific Miike, who regularly makes about five movies a year, has since directed two sequels--the first only three months after the original. --Philip Kemp

Customer Reviews of Dead or Alive (R-Rated Edition)
Miike is pure genious.... What can I say - I saw an earlier review that said this movie had the best opening and ending of all time - that is pretty accurate. You see a bit (although nothing like Ichi) of the violent excess that Miike wants to give you, but he adds a very touching element that deals with the loss of a close family member (Ryuichi's little brother Toji, and Jojima's wife and daughter) and creates an excellent (albeit intense), emotional plot line that delivers from the first second to the very last. <
>Classic, brilliant Miike, perhaps one of his best. <

Awesome Film
This is the first time I have ever done a review of a film. I can honestly say that if you haven't seen this film, you should really check it out. It is fast paced action, and Takashi Miike is the only director who can pull something like this off. Don't just stop here, continue the trilogy and just have a good time watching these films that should be in everyones collection.

>I have read all the reviews and they all summarize the plot real well, so I am not going to get all into that. If you have ever seen Audition or Ichi the Killer, then this is highly recommended.
