When a customer attempts to sexually assault truck-stop waitress Catherine (Jade Leung), her self-control snaps and she kills both him and the policeman who tries to arrest her. While escaping the courtroom during her arraignment, she's seemingly shot dead. Surviving, however, she is drafted to be an assassin by secret government agent Brian (Simon Yam). A newly-installed microchip in her brain controls her reflexes, turning her into a remote-controlled killing machine.

steve d 12/26/2022 A poor rip off with no new ideas. See more 05/11/2015 A sloppily directed rip-off of LA FEMME NIKITA. See more 10/11/2013 Better than the Hollywood remake but the original film is way too good to be topped over. See more 08/07/2012 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). See more 01/05/2009 Entertaining remake HK style of Nikita. Jade Leung is quite convincing. See more 08/01/2008 A rip off of Le Femme Nikita. Jade Leung looks good naked though. See more Read all reviews
