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 (Unrated Director's Cut)
Couldn't Finish This Movie I tried for three consecutive nights to make it through this movie and couldn't do it. As the Amazon reviewer noted, it is hard to tell the characters apart, and this adds confusion to the boredom and repulsion. The plot didn't capture me at all, and the so-called sensational action was very predictable and campy. I guess if you're into seeing a woman have sex with a dog, and other defilements, this might be of interest to you. <

>I love all types of obscure stuff out of Japan, but this falls way short. I advise that you rent before you buy as you may be disappointed by this even if it sounds like it might be in one of your collection genres.
eh, this didn't really do it for me
Let me start by saying Miike is a genious.

>but this one wasn't that great. The violence was great. The charachters were pretty good. The story was o.k. And the ending was friggin awesome until the very last thing that happens. I thought that that was garbage, but thats just my opinion. There are probably so many people that think thats what made that movie so great. I can see what they're thinking. but... not for me
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.
