Viewing Notes

good lord Shu Qi and this entire team of women. Shot up to the top of my “needs proper restoration and release on Blu-ray stat” list.

Thought this was gonna be a OCEAN’S EIGHT kind of story but it is a full-on “girls with guns” movie. Released a year before SO CLOSE, which could be a spiritual sequel to this movie.

Full ratings point bump for placing these seven women in the lead roles as badasses and giving them animal codenames. Love this movie!

Amusing to see Wong Jing in this movie, a story he would totally write (I thought he did but nope; written by Sharon Hui).
