Plot:
Karen Mok, Shu Qi and Zhao Wei star in this action thriller imported from Hong Kong and directed by Corey Yuen. Two sisters (Qi and Wei) take over their family's computer surveillance business and con...( read more

This 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.
These girls were amazing! If you like action movies and wit, topped with pretty lead stars then this is it.
one of the best movies i've ever seen...it's about love to a sister, friendship and family...the best ever even its a 2002 movie :)
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.
Very 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.
i loved the closeness of the two character here,,they do loved and protect each other..that's a sisterhood..
I love Karen Mok more than I love this movie eventhough it has met all of my standards in the martial arts category.
Good movie...
The girls are talented in action movie.
The story of the movie is good and the action scenes are acceptable.
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. ^_^
about this movie...action...love story...drama...wahaha...action...fine...di maxadong mgnda love story...pero...ung nkkaiyak tlga...!!! that's y...it's on of my fave.!
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..
This 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.
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.
i super love this movie...
girls being professional assasins are hot!
my fave scene was when the song "close to you" was played while killing everyone...
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.
....this is really one of my favorite...naiiyak pa rin ako khit trice ko n xang npanood..action drama...haha...and love zhang wei tlga
i love this movie..100 times i watch this movie cuz i love it..this movie more action and it makes me emossional...the character are so natural..who i love most is qi shu i like her...so watch this movie so that u will know how it makes me cry:-(..hehehe love it promise
i love this movie bcoz of the action they made...the effects they put in to make it look real , nice and beautiful....
when the trouble of zhao wei against the detective karen mok and qi shu against the black men, and when qi shu help zhao wei to escape to karen mok, then she really got into trouble and died..."nakakaiyak at nakakalungkot talaga"
if u watch this movie you'll appreciate it as much as i do...
