steve d A poor rip off with no new ideas. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member A sloppily directed rip-off of LA FEMME NIKITA. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Better than the Hollywood remake but the original film is way too good to be topped over. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member If any part of the world can put together a competent action film, the it's undoubtedly Hong Kong. This rather violent offers gets straight into the action and maintains interest throughout, leaving very little time for a breather. An improvement on its source material, Luc Besson's 'La Femme Nikita' (1990). Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Entertaining remake HK style of Nikita. Jade Leung is quite convincing. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member A rip off of Le Femme Nikita. Jade Leung looks good naked though. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
