Movie Reviews of So Close
Movie Review: 100% Original Action Film Packed with Fun and Thrills
Summary: 5 Stars
I watched this film on DVD three years after it was released, and wished I'd seen it theatrically for the full effect. The story is very fast-paced and it is rich in originality and entertainment value. Model-turned-actress, Shu Qi (The Transporter) plays a gun-for-hire, and together with her brainy sister played by Zhao Wei (Shaolin Soccer) these espionage specialists use their late, murdered father's advanced secret satellite technology to give them the field advantage over their enemies and the local law enforcement.
Since they are ridding the world of evil men, you can't help but want them to succeed undetected, and they do for awhile. However, in the aftermath of their latest successful mission, an intelligent Police Detective, played by singer and actress, Karen Mok (Around the World in 80 Days) is assigned to their case and is able to track them down. It's a cat and mouse plot that fails to please. There is a sub-plot involving a love interest between Shu Qi and a man from her past that slows the story down a little, but it was probably added to permit the viewer time to breath and take a bathroom break, because I see no other purpose for it. There is no character development with this guy, and every time he shows up, you just want to groan. The good news is that not much time is spent on this love angle, so don't hesitate to get a copy of this exhilarating film. You will not be disappointed! Comes with Chinese and English dialog and sub-titles.
Summary of So Close
A crooked businessman hires a high-tech professional assassin team of two sisters to kill his elder brother. Fearing exposure by an undercover policewoman who has been shadowing the sisters, the businessman has the older sister killed and implicates the policewoman. The grieving younger sister and the framed policewoman must now form an alliance to bring down the businessman. Great high-kicking action in the tradition of Charlie's Angels and The Matrix.Action & Adventure DVD Video
