4/5
A LOT OF FUN TO WATCH
by Margaux Paschke (New York)
This movie is not a great film but it is a lot of fun to watch. The action packed gem from Hong Kong follows the genre but without the usual ultra violence or bumbling policeman. Actually, there are the usual bumbling policemen but it has an ultra sharp female detective pitted against our two young sisters who are assassins with a purpose. They do have the sisters dressed in skimpy clothing but, hey, that's what sells and it was not offensive to me.
The fighting scenes are impossible but amazing to watch. The female detective disarming two thugs in an elevator is a great scene. This movie excels at the fast paced action sequences. The plotline isn't bad either. Two high tech sisters fight for their family's honor with deadly accuracy. After the older sister rekindles an old love, she wants to walk another path as the younger one - always looking to one up her sister - tries to go alone. A remake of the Carpenter's song "Close To You," plays to remind us that the crimes are committed on their family's behalf and as a way to stay connected.
The movie is in subtitles (no conversations to interrupt the beautiful action sequences) but offers an English dubbed version. A great adrenaline fueled by estrogen movie.
5/5
Amazing
by Carter (Lawrenceburg, IN USA)
I first saw the dubbed form on of this on Spike TV last year during their martial arts marathon and was amazed by its cinematography and action. Some of it is a bit far fetched (like the world panorama) but other than that, its an amazing movie. Especially for anyone who likes to watch martial arts film or women kicking butt and taking names.
I wish the main song, titled same as the movie, could be downloaded off of iTunes as its a moving song to me.

Item not what was described in the product description
by G. Krouse
This item was not exactly what was described in the product description.
This item is a foreign DVD that should have been in Format: Anamorphic, Closed-captioned, Color, Dolby, Dubbed, DVD-Video, Subtitled, Widescreen, NTSC and in Language: French (Dolby Digital 2.0 Surround), Mandarin Chinese (Dolby Digital 5.1), English (Dolby Digital 5.1), Cantonese (Dolby Digital 5.1) and Subtitles: English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Georgian, Chinese, Thai; HOWEVER, the DVD I received was ONLY in English with no subtitles or any other options and the item SHOULD have had extras. I made this purchase to replace the copy I already had that got broken so I know what should have been on this copy. I don't know why or what reason it is not the same, but the description should have indicated that.
5/5
100% Original Action Film Packed with Fun and Thrills
by Commish
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.
5/5
Fun Great Action and even a tear may fall
by Rudy James Jr. (Pleasantville, NJ United States)
This movie is great. The ladies in it reall do kick butt and look good doing it. It is also a funny movie. The fight scenes are soo good you could watch them over and over. I would go so far as to say this is a much better movie then Charle's Angels 2 and equal to the first one. It is a great movie that should not be missed.
So Close Summary
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.
