David Ansen Newsweek A delirious example of grrrl power, Hong Kong style...master action choreographer Yuen keeps topping himself with one battle royal after another. Mar 12, 2018 Full Review Steven Rea Philadelphia Inquirer If stiletto-heeled heroines outfoxing legions of dunderheaded males are what you're looking for, seek no more. Rated: 3/4 Sep 20, 2003 Full Review Charles Taylor Salon.com Luscious superstar Shu Qi and action expert Corey Yuen prove that Hong Kong movies can still deliver the goods Hollywood can't. Sep 13, 2003 Full Review Christine Champagne Out Magazine While the film veers from over-the-top action to melodrama, you've got to love its campy sensibility.

Hargie M Offers thought-provoking themes about the nature of justice, morality, and the consequences of one's actions. The film skillfully weaves these elements into its narrative, adding layers of depth and complexity to the overall story. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/07/24 Full Review carlos t Minha opinião: Assisti este filme pela 3ª vez, significa que gosto do filme. Onde a protagonista são mulheres, e mulheres empoderadas. Um filme mesmo sendo 2002, isto é a 20 anos atrás, não significa que esta desatualizada pelo contrario, como foi bem feito, tanto o roteiro como as cenas de lutas. Prinipalmente a #luta final, além de muitos #tiros e #acrobacia E boas atuações de Shu, Zhao, Karen. Além do japonês Kurata. O filme são duas irmãs que são assassinas profissionais. Até que os contrates querem elimina-las, começa uma caça, vingaça, lutas e tiros. E com a ajuda de uma policial que precisa provar sua inocência lutam contra os mafiosos. Roteiro: Um roteiro bem elaborado. Vale apena assistir? Sim, mesmo sendo um filme de 2002. Nota: 8 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review dustin d 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review camille l Sorti en 2002, So Close ressemble énormément à une réponse HK à Charlie's Angels dirigée par Corey Yuen. On y retrouve Shu Qi, Zhao Wei et Karen Mok, toutes trois parfaites, dans une histoire bateau de tueuses à gages poursuivies par des evil bad guys et sauvées par la flic qui enquêtait sur elles. Ce postulat de départ est sublimé par une maîtrise technique absolument remarquable de Corey Yuen, qui est aussi bien à l'aise lors de combats à mains nues qu'avec des sabres ou des gun fights. So Close est très souvent drôle, visuellement osé (certains CGI n'ont pas passé les années), constamment divertissant et doté d'une bonne dose de second degré bienvenu. C'est peut-être un poil long mais on pardonne pour les 30 dernières minutes. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member 'Charlie's Angels' plus 'Dead or Alive' plus 'Naked Weapon' equals 'So Close'.. =D Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews
