Critic's review of So Close
View all (1)
- Enjoyably silly action movie in a sleek, comicbook style, with spectacular, high energy gun- and sword-fights, acrobatically choreographed; it is the sort of film where the heroine's hair waves attractively in the breeze even when she's indoors.

  Love, Revenge, kung-fu, gun-fu
  
  This is one of those films which tries to hit many buttons at once.
  
  And amazingly succeeds.
