Switch off your brain, revel in the lack of depth!

The film centers on a trio of hot heroines who battle various steroid-enhanced heavies and run around in tiny bikinis. We have Christie (Holly Valance), a jewel thief fleeing the police in Hong Kong. Tina Armstrong (Jaime Pressly) is a wrestler who wants to prove that she's a real fighter. Kasumi (Devon Aoki)is a ninja princess who has left her sanctuary to avenge her brother's death. The three individually wind up being invited to join DOA, a competition where the finest fighters compete for the title of world's greatest (and of course a big bundle of cash). We also have Sarah Carter (the adopted daughter of evil Eric Roberts) and Natassia Malthe (the bodyguard sworn to kill Kasumi for leaving). Despite their different motives, they all wind up uncovering a greater secret, concerning the nature of their tournament and the intentions of their soap-opera handsome host Donovan (Eric Roberts).
I was expecting a brutal martial arts competition. However, the winner need only "knock out" their competitor. Still, this is a fun enough flick, with plenty of beautiful very flexible and deadly babes, reasonably cool choreography, mild violence and nudity. I recommend this to anyone with the Y-chromosome.
