If stiletto-heeled heroines outfoxing legions of dunderheaded males are what you're looking for, seek no more.

Luscious superstar Shu Qi and action expert Corey Yuen prove that Hong Kong movies can still deliver the goods Hollywood can't.

While the film veers from over-the-top action to melodrama, you've got to love its campy sensibility.

So Close is stylistic and fun, but it is also cheesy and hasn't aged well. Watch it after The Dark Knight and see how many elements Christopher Nolan stole.

Good action and good story line. Older movies seem to do better in getting the moviegoer engaged w/o totally wowing us with the special effects. It was tough to see the Lin, older sister, killed. I watched the movie over 10 years ago and still enjoy revisiting.
