So Close, rated 4.5 out of 5 stars at Amazon.com, is a 2002 Hong Kong chick sword flick starring Shu Qi, Zhao Wei and Karen Mok. The movie is often compared to the Charlie's Angels franchise, except that it's a lot better. The fight scenes are extremely convincing and it's even a bit gripping. And because women are the main action stars of So Close, you might even be able to pass it off as a chick flick. The cover blurb:
A crooked businessman hires a high-tech professional assassin team of two sisters to kill his elder brother. Fearing exposure by an undercover policewoman who has been shadowing the sisters, the businessman has the older sister killed and implicates the policewoman. The grieving younger sister and the framed policewoman must now form an alliance to bring down the businessman. Great high-kicking action in the tradition of Charlie's Angels and The Matrix.
