if you be look for a cerebral piece and you should look elsewhere . this screenplay be certainly not go to win any major writing accolade but within the context of this genre and the plot be believable and logical and fairly easy to follow . ( spoiler alert ) in a way and lynn ( qi shu ) death which be indirectly cause by the action of her sister sue ( zhao wei ) be a nice ironic twist which might have even cause a few tear to be shed . however and like the tarantino hit kill bill and it not the plot that be the major strength of the show and it be the presentation . to call this show slick be an understatement . it ultra chique and ultra slick . the set and the ultra high tech special effect and the costume and the direction and the action sequence give this film an anime quality . the pacing of the show be also superb a it keep me glue to the seat throughout the whole show . the two leading woman zhao and qi be both drop dead gorgeous and yet they be not exploit in the film in any sexual manner . they just exude so much natural sex appeal . insofar a the score and i be pleasantly surprise it be not fill with clicheish heavy metal sequence which seem to be prevalent in this genre of film . in fact and a lot of the music in the show be present in a lush but sensitive way . i also think the use of the old carpenter hit close to you in the early fighting sequence be a very special touch . the mood of the song be such an antithesis to the action on the screen that it give the audience a sudden sense of surreal detachment . i have watch countless hong kong produce film but so close be a definite quantum leap from previous effort . i be so impressed and mesmerize by this delicious film that i have already order a dvd copy of this film for my video library . a definite 10 .
