MCT:July 30, 2008This action adventure is a cross between the Charlie's Angels' films from America and the Raider (Tokyo and Seoul) films from China. Put these two series together and you have a better than average action movie.
The story turns out to be more deep than one may expect and while it does have its dramatic points, it is hard to complain about them when it involves Shu Qi or Zhao Wei. This film is about an 1 hour and 50 minutes and it does seem a bit long for a movie like this, but that is because of the slow segments, which are the meat of the story.
There is a good amount of action throughout this film and each of the 3 female leads gets a chance to shine. For the most part, the action is nothing spectacular and the CG is a little weak. Director Corey Yuen decides to go with a handful of slow motion shots for the fights and some upbeat music in the background, like the Raider films. If you like this kind of stuff, then this is the movie for you. The last 20 minutes is one long action sequence, which includes guns, hand-to-hand combat, and swordplay. The swordplay at this part is pretty impressive, if I may say so. We can thank Yasuaki Kurata, from Jet Li's Fist of Legend, for being the villain in this fight.
The acting is everything you expect from a film like this. The females are pretty, but they also do a decent job with their characters. Shu Qi is Shu Qi. Zhao Wei, of Shaolin Soccer fame, does a good job, especially in the second half. Karen Mok actually shows that she is the better actor and fighter of the three.
So Close is not an explosive big budget action adventure, but this is still a good watch to pass the time.

I was simply surprised how good this movie was. Full of awesome stunts, technical kung fu, and choreographed better than most movies. This was a great movie that keeps you "yeah-ing" throughout its full running time. And even the conclusion was satisfying. I expect a sequel.

MCT:May 19, 2008Very close to making "Charlie's Angels" look like a sedate Jane Austen-style period costume drama.. Infused with distinctive Hong Kong-style action sequences that you would be hard-pressed to find anywhere else.

The girls are talented in action movie.
The story of the movie is good and the action scenes are acceptable. -
MCT:March 25, 2008
The asian Charle's Angels. Only loads more fun! Still stupid and pointless, but if your in the mood for a no-brains action movie with a certain amount of charm...go for it. ^_^

I didn't used to like any of Shu Qi's movies, it was too much a pain to watch or hear her speak. It was this movie that earned her a new found respect for her acting. Great improvement.

it wil keep u in spell.......
All three girls in this mOvie are brilliant....usually i find that girl stuff in the mOives are for fun....nothing much.......but Qi Shu,Zhao Wei and Karen Mok....are gonna change ur opinion........modern tech,spell bindin actions........just watch it....u wont regret it.. -
MCT:February 10, 2008This is the type of movies that made the HK action cinema industry such a mess. It is as bad as the Charlies Angel's films, just less annoying, and with women who are actually attractive (except Karen Mok, heh). For a cheesy-but-fun all female actioner go for The Heroic Trio instead of this.

A fun little action film, very over the top, it takes place in a very cartoony world and may actaully be a tad long for some tastes, but the girls are cute and the action fast paced, which is the point, after all.
Worth a rental or a cable watch. -
MCT:January 2, 2008
Cool movie to watch! i love the stunts of the ladies here. After watching this movie i feel sorry for not going into martial arts class when i was a kid.

An average story, but with a lot of cool (though sometimes unrealistic) action. You'll probably love it more if you're a fan of any of the famous cast. It's a movie to watch when you're bored. Not bad, but not great.

MCT:November 22, 2007
i also love this movie. it is somehow similar to naked weapon..both are assassins and one of the leading actor died (i almost cried during those parts). the fighting scenes are also superb.

"i love every second of it, i can't remember how many times i've seen it, which is probably why the song has stuck on my mind."

So Close may be a tad over-the-top but it is fun and entertaining at the same time. It is packed to the brim with action and its storyline, although not a big deal, is good enough to keep the movie engaging.
