YesAsia Editorial Description
SO CLOSE is a high-energy, high-tech, visually arresting film by action director Cory Yuen, known for his collaborations with Jet Li. Sisters Lynn (Shu Qi) and Sue (Zhao Wei) are slick, fearless, and equipped with enough firearms and gadgetry to outwit an army. The girls were raised as assassins after witnessing their parents' murder by a group of ruthless businessmen who stole their father's ground-breaking invention: a way to control video security cameras via satellite. Now that they're all grown up, the super-sisters use their father's technology to mastermind their way into the guts of a corporate building. Once inside, they perform supernatural feats of martial arts and levitation (a la CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON) to assassinate bigwig computer mogul Chow Lui. The sinister (but always lovable) sisters meet their match in Kong Yat Hong (Karen Mok), a whip-smart detective investigating Chow Lui's murder. Just before Hong can book them for the crime, all three women become the target of Lui's corrupt brother Chow Nunn, and the lines between law and lawlessness are pleasantly blurred. Lynn reconsiders a life of crime when old flame Yan (Seoung-Heon Song) shows up unexpectedly, but her tenacious younger sister, desperate for a promotion, is not about to let go of life on the edge.
"...What defines SO CLOSE, directed with noticeable esprit by Hong Kong veteran Cory Yuen, is its human dimension and its light and playful sense of fun..."

Nice transplants
| A nice transplantation of female actors in the role usually played by male actors of your familiar "professional assasin" story. So, the directors/choreographer take full advantage of sexy competition in ways that only cool, fashion savvy, female fighters can. Overall enjoyable, the conclusion somewhat long & drawn-out but it delivers. Great soundtrack. Picture quality clean, subtitles clear. Nothing spectacular as far as special features. |

Best of the Best
| It had to happen sooner or later. An action movie with class and one you will find yourself watching again and again. Shu Qi, Zhao Wei and Karen Mok made the film. You could not have picked a better trio. Where oh where is number 2??? |

Action? Babes? You got it!!!
|
Even thought the plot/story is kind of far fetch and at times ludricous, you gotta admit that this film knows what it is, whose it's target audience is for and does more than enough to cater the crowd. Pretty well done and choreograph action sequences will please even the most demanding action fans. This version even has an english track, which is not too bad. Highly recommended flick by yours trully! |

So Great...
| Ok so this movie didnt have the best plot in history, thats ok since it is plain fun. I love this movie and think it is one of the best action movies. The action sequences are not the greatest, but they are really good. Just make sure that you dont judge the film by its first 10 minutes because they are very painful...The action scene in that period of time is just so-so and the cgi is terrible, but after that the movie really picks up...The movie has its moments of greatness and even though this movie is compared to Charlies Angels, its not really like it that much, just that there are three beautiful girls who kick butt...but the story is in no way similar...I would say that this is a must see for anyone who likes female action films... |
