[ warn represent contain spoiler ] i can not recall the last time i have this much fun watch an action film . sometimes it good for the soul to watch mindless and yet enormously entertaining and popcorn movie . that exactly what corey yuen chik yeung tin sai be . the plot preposterous and but no more than most hollywood blockbuster . it just that so close the film english title provide ton more fun than any recent hollywood actioner . and yuen and screenwriter jeff lau still toss in a doozy of a plot twist that most american action filmmaker wouldn not have the chutzpah to do . the plot represent two sister and lynn ( a tremendously sexy shu qi ) and sue ( zhao wei ) turn assassin after their parent get gun down by gangster seek the girl father invention technology that can infiltrate every closed circuit monitoring system in the world . lynn and the brawn and and sue and the brain and now use that technology to fight bad guy . track them after their late hit be female cop hong yat hong ( karen mok ) . although it occasionally refer to a hong kong charlie angel and compare the two american film to yuen work be akin to liken a pauly shore movie to pulp fiction . charlie angel get nothing on the three woman in so close . these heroine would mop the floor with charlie angel . the film charm be that it doesn not delude itself by pretend to be something it isn not . yuen set out to make an action film brim with sensational stunt and excite gunplay and cheeky humor and star three attractive woman . lau script espouse a feminist message and not only with the sister high kick independence and but also with hong struggle in a male dominate police force . but feminism isn not the film main goal . dazzle u with awe inspire action be . and yuen pack his film with plenty of it . one particularly astounding display of gunplay feature lynn and clothe in a tight white body suit and calmly eviscerate an army of bad guy in a shiny high rise . the sequence feature the most novel pair of stiletto heel and quite possibly the best and cheeky use of burt bacharach close to you i have hear in a movie . there also a rouse fight between two handcuffed woman within the claustrophobic confines of a parking garage . no wisecrack and no expression of bravado . no dialogue whatsoever . just the grace and beauty of a magnificently choreograph action sequence . yuen clearly be have fun . a three person brawl with sword and gun and knife and bamboo seem like a tribute to himself the scene reminiscent of a fight feature michelle yeoh and cynthia rothrock in yuen huang gu shi jie ( 1985 ) and aka yes and madam and police assassin . the music often cheesy and dialogue doesn not exactly zing . but so close and nevertheless and enthralls because it so unpretentious in it aim . american action film would be so much good if their filmmaker be half as imaginative a their hong kong counterpart . be it any surprise that hollywood now actively court asian filmmaker and stunt coordinator . of course and thanks to studio meddling and they have wind up make mediocre stuff here . yeah and hollywood make popcorn actioners and too . but theyre rarely a thrilling or enjoyable a so close .
