Three of Asia’s most bankable actresses star in this kung fu action adventure. Wonder Woman (Anita Mui), Thief Catcher (Maggie Cheung) and Invisible Woman (Michelle Yeoh) each kick some ass but for different reasons, on different sides of the fence. Can a fence have three sides? No matter. Knowing that much is enough to let you know what you’re in for.
Unfortunately, Johnny To cocked it up. His action scenes are too clunky and his framing exposes all the sins. Tsui Hark or Corey Yuen could’ve brought this to a much higher level, although it still wouldn't have made much sense in the story dept. The finale is bonkers good fun, though.
