Leofwine_draca My guess is that the Hollywood big screen adaptation of CHARLIE'S ANGELS did very well in Hong Kong, because a whole slew of local rip-offs followed in its wake. I previously watched SO CLOSE, also starring Shu Qi, which was much better than this nonsensical and incoherent effort from Clarence Fok. The story features a whole gaggle of young beauties (all the actors are young here, and most are women) who get involved in some confusing plot regarding some antivirus software which the bad guys are trying to steal. Expect cheesy romantic sub-plots, some really bad direction in the action sequences (so bad that you can't even make out what's happening) and a general lack of cohesion throughout. Shu Qi gives a solid performance, but the rest of the starlets are unremarkable and the story drags on and on, never even coming close to achieving even a basic kind of quality.

ebiros2 The movie is another Wong Jing's classic style that makes no apologies about its intent to just entertain. If you read the subtitles, the story isn't so bad. Shu Qi's old boy friend returns after 2 years, but he gets kidnapped. Now Shu Qi and six other girls goes out to get him back.The movie is bit like Charlies Angels in that all girls team performs action. But the girls are much better looking than the real Charlie's Angels (US movie version that is), although their skin exposure remains low.The movie is bit comical because of the outrageous plot of six women working together to perform theft as their profession, and all other plot being outlandish as well, but it sticks to it's purpose to entertain. I found this movie to be pretty good entertainment, and the chemistry of members of the team interesting. Not a bad movie to be part of the mix of other light hearted entertainment that are not only made in Hong Kong, but also from Hollywood.

BA_Harrison Despite pretty bad reviews, I just had to give this film a go – it does, after all, star HK super-babe Shu Qi plus 6 other oriental lovelies as a team of all-action cat-burglars. Surely that's worth checking out? Well, as babe-fests go, Martial Angels is hard to beat. The eye candy is top quality. Shu Qi looks as fantastic as always, and of the rest of the girls, Rosemary Vandebrouck and Amanda Strang caught my roving eye in particular.Unfortunately, if one is to judge this movie by any other possible merits, it is an absolute stinker! The story is weak, the action shoddy and the special effects downright pathetic. Director Clarence Fok and Producer Wong Jing have given us a photogenic cast and little else.If Shu Qi is the only reason you're contemplating seeing this one, you would be better off watching Sex and Zen 2 again!

winkie_69 If you are a fan of beautiful women, this is definitely something to rent. If you cannot stand (at times) really crappy special effects, don't check this one out unless you've seen everything already. I'm a big fan of Shu Qi as well as a chinese student, so for me this was a no brainer. I'm also someone who can just rear back and laugh at either bad acting or bad effects. At times this movie was really engaging. The story was interesting enough - although nothing too special for Hong Kong cinema. The fight sequences were interesting. The characters to watch in this movie are however worth it. The interaction between Bone and Spider (god i love names in chinese movies) is unforgettable. That and Shu Qi is lovely and a damn fine actress like always. out of 10, eh, i'd have to say the movie was about a 5.5 - 6.5, depending on who you're watching it with, like an utter intellectual, 1.0 or if it's a good friend who likes to laugh as much as you at cheesy things, 8.0
