SYNOPSIS:
Ai Lin (Shu Qi) and her sister Ai Quan (Zhao Wei) are computer hackers and espionage specialists who use their late father's advanced secret satellite technology to give them the field advantage over their enemies and the local law enforcement. At the start of the movie they assassinate the chairman of a top Chinese company.
In the aftermath of their successful mission, an intelligent Police Detective named Kong Yat Hung (Karen Mok) is assigned to their case and is able to track them down. The cat-and-mouse chase becomes more complicated when Lin and Ai Quan become the targets of the very people who originally hired them and Yat Hung is framed for Lin's death. Left with no choice, Yat Hung teams up with Ai Quan to find Lin's true killer.

REVIEW:
" ...Yuen puts his martial arts choreography experience to bear on the action sequences of "So Close", and it shows. Blending CGI and wire-fu, "So Close" is peppered with action sequences that will please fans of Hong Kong action, with plenty of aerial moves, guns being flung through the air, and double-fisted shootouts. Some of the standout sequences include the high-octane opening action sequence in which Lynn takes out an office building full of disposable henchmen, a womano-a-womano catfight between Lynn and Hong, a car chase that is monitored via satellite, and the expected final showdown against the chief bad guy and his army of gun-toting thugs and martial arts experts.
Aside from handling the physical demands of their roles, the actresses adequately service the thesping-optional requirements of the film. Shu Qi, whose career has been advanced more by her looks rather than acting ability, is competent as the devil-may-care Lynn. Zhao is easily the most interesting person on the screen, playing a naïve young woman who is eager to go out on her own and prove herself. Finally, Mok is a lot of fun to watch as a tough cop with the brains and the brawn necessary to crack the case.
For a guilty-pleasure time-waster, it is difficult to go wrong with "So Close". Though the script seems to sleepwalk through its storytelling obligations, this is more than made up for by the inventive action choreography of director Yuen. Infused with distinctive Hong Kong-style action sequences that you would be hard-pressed to find anywhere else, "So Close" comes very close to making "Charlie's Angels" look like a sedate Jane Austen-style period costume drama.
