Chik yeung tin si
Director: Corey Yuen
Starring: Jason Statham, Shu Qi, Matt Schulze, François Berléand, Wei Zhao
A martial arts valentine to the power of fighting women. It's a slick and delirious Hong Kong action film.
Its sense of play, its sleek design and Yuen's spectacular action sequences will make it, I suspect, attractive to palates not accustomed to the spicier or cruder forms of this genre.
So Close is a beautiful mess. I didn't really understand what was going on, but I loved every stylized minute of it.
Sleek, stylish and crammed with girl-power action.
The surprising lack of humor in So Close, and long, trying stretches between combat sequences aren't likely to attract new converts to the genre.
