Audience Member A watchable flick about a hit-woman trying to escape her violent past when she starts to develop a relationship with a noodle-vendor whose shop is near her home. It's got its moments, but sort of falls into a trap of feeling too familiar at times, as a lot of these Asian action flicks can tend to blend together. Rental? Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member good n bloody hong kong thriller Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Female HK assassin gets lonely and falls for the local noodle guy. The squibs aren't great, but the finale is. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a pretty serviceable action thriller from Milkyway Galaxy films. Its about a cold detached hitwoman who yearns for a normal life, and falls in love with a simple noodle vendor. Despite being very by the numbers and not very unique, it does have some excellent camera work and shootouts. This is recommended if you like Hong Kong action cinema. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member A interesting side of a assassin story set on a sudo seemingly lower budget Cantonese film. My biggest complaint is the fact that it was dubbed and i really really hate dubbing foreign films these days, I would much rather read subtitles then a fake emotional english vo. Other then that though, not a bad film- good shooting, cinematography, and forward moving story and plot. Kinda a crazy over the top ending, but hey= why not.
