Yin (Yeoh) and her brother (Chang) are
renowned acrobats. Eric (Chaplin) is a master thief who has stolen a sacred
relic but instead of giving it to his boss (Roxburgh) he gives it to his
ex-lover, Yin.
The film got almost unanimously bad
reviews but I want to see Michelle Yeoh. Indeed, she’s the only asset the film
offers. Well, also Chaplin’s handsome charm. Otherwise it’s mostly just a kung
foo crouching tigers stolen treasure mishmash.
But quite entertaining. And Yeoh is an
impressive acrobat and kick fighter.
So, no, it’s not very good. But I’ve seen
worse. The Girl Power is cool.
What’s this? Do I actually like it?
