When an assasin known as Computer Angel/Virus kills the CEO of a powerhouse corporation all the while pumping "Why do birds suddenly appear" through the building, special agent Kong Yat Hong (the incredible Karen Mok) is on the case.
Little do they know, the assasin is a team of sisters called Lynn and Sue (the sexy Shu Qi and the charming Vicky Zhao Wei) that call themselves 'The Computer Angel' and "Comuter Virus. While Lynn is out carrying out the kill, Sue is at home hacking the companies computers and surveilance systems.
The assasin sisters were hired by the CEO's younger brother Chow Nunn (Deric Wan), so he could take over the company.
Meanwhile Lynn runs into an old flame and deides to quit the assasination business so Sue takes it upon herself to carry out the next job by herself, not knowing that special agent Hong will be waiting for her with her partner Mark.

Let's just say there are three sexy Asian girls that have a new fan.
SO CLOSE is such an enjoyable popcorn film to watch with a few of your guy friends, lets be honest girls probably won't like it and that's fine. SO CLOSE brings the action and sex appeal to enjoyably high levels. The choreography is just awesome, every fight will get its fair share of "WOW!!" and "That's so cool!" (the tag team sword fighting comes to mind), I believe it was choreographed by Corey Yuen but don't quote me on that.

This is the kind of film that drops believabilty for more style. Sure she's firing way too many bullets and has no extra ammo. Sure she's walking slow and her coat is waving about when there's no wind and yes she's staying in the air longer that gravity allows. However you just wont care, because it looks good. Maybe "Why do birds suddenly appear" isn't the perfect fighting music, but hey i bought it and it was awesome! I thought it was pretty clever using such a slow song for gun fights.

I dont know what more I can say, I enjoyed this movie immensely and if it wasn't for the drawn out romance scenes and failed attempts of creating an emotional connection, I would have given it a perfect score. If there was a sequal (which there isn't so don't get excited) I would like to see them lose the padding and weave in more action.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
