So Close (2002) - Hong Kong Movie Review

Erik, the Asian Movie Enthusiast presents:
A review of “So Close”, a Hong Kong action movie from 2002 that stars Shu Qi, Zhao Wei and Karen Mok. It was directed by Corey Yuen.
Lynn (played by Shu Qi) and her sister Sue (played by Zhao Wei) are computer hackers, assassins and espionage specialists who use their late father’s secret satellite technology to gain an advantage over their rivals and law enforcement agents. At the beginning of the film, they infiltrate a high security building and assassinate Chow, the chairman of a top company in China. After their successful mission, a police inspector named Kong (played by Karen Mok) is assigned to investigate the case and she manages to track down the assassins. In the meantime, the contractor wants to kill the assassins to silence them. The cat-and-mouse chase becomes more complicated as both the police and the thugs are out to get Lynn and Sue.
Despite being cheesy at times, this is a very fun movie that I rewatch on a regular basis.
