SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

jimadam These comments pertain to home video only, as I continue to prefer the big stuff in theaters.After plowing through Watchmen today and Beowolf yesterday, I really appreciated this movie, as one would appreciate a Burger King whooper. Sure, it is a brainless junk movie, but I like watching the action babes and Andrea Osvart is one hot babe.I am really tired of bloated big budget confusing movies seemingly with just big special effects and fight scenes comprised of stupid wire work.Action scenes are limited as are the fight scenes, but at least they are real looking. Mostly, the movie is all about following Ms. Osvart around as she goes about her assassin job. And I will follow her anywhere. Also, the music and Shanghai are highlights, as mentioned by other reviewers.Let's not take this movie seriously because an assassin should be someone who is very ordinary looking and very forgettable. One final reason to like this movie, is no one has named it the worst movie ever made, yet.

JoeB131 I actually kind of enjoyed this film. Okay, the acting wasn't great, and the two women's accents got in the way of the story telling. But I thought the story was kind of interesting and I'd have liked to have seen this done with actresses who were better in English. there were some underdeveloped characters (the private detective hunting the assassin was totally unneeded to the plot, IMHO).It's not your over the top Hollywood action film, which would have involved tons of car chases. I also respect the fact that it was pretty explicit in the sex. (Americans have become such wusses in this area, even R-rated movies don't have sex scenes anymore.)

alex021485-1 At first glance (the cover) You will expect an action packed martial arts movie with sword fighting. In all honesty this could not be further from the truth. The acting is poor and the scenery is nothing you have not seen before. As far as the martial arts goes (the little that there is), It should have been left out of the movie all together. As previously stated, It is obvious that the lead actress has no clue what she is doing and few fight scenes were filmed terribly. Selena Khoo, who plays the part of Lin is probably the best actor in this movie and that is not saying much. I believe this film relies entirely on on the attractiveness of the actresses and their willingness to appear nude on camera. While this may be what some are looking for it is not what I was looking for upon selecting this title.There is a lot of "Broken English" but this does not bother me though I could see how it would bother some.In short, The MPAA rating of this movie gives a better description of what you will get than anything else. This movie is nothing more to me than a poorly written and filmed fantasy adult soft-core.This film is not even a "b-movie"

refdan I obtained this movie because I am a fan of femme fatale type characters, beautiful women who are also evil. The premise of this film is interesting, but the performances and action sequences are the worst I have seen since Wonder Woman.The dialog is very lame and the actors are obviously uncomfortable with the English language. The main character is portrayed as an assassin, equally skilled with a rifle or with her body, but she fails to sell either to the viewers. There is no suspense or build-up. Everything is so predictable and the end most unsatisfying.It seems that this is a weak attempt to copy successful Hong Kong female assassin films. It fails miserably on all accounts. The Chinese really know how to make these types of movies. Check out "Beyond Hypothermia" if you want to see what I mean.I heartily encourage you lovers of assassin flicks to avoid this one, unless you can get it for free, and even then only if you have nothing else to do.
