      Los Angeles Times

      A martial arts valentine to the power of fighting women. It's a slick and delirious Hong Kong action film.

      A delirious example of grrrl power, Hong Kong style.

      The A.V. Club

      This sort of film lives or dies by its promise of bullet-dodging, stylishly clad women throwing themselves into impossible feats of daring, and when the time comes for action, Yuen displays a rare gift.

      L.A. Weekly

      The protracted final sequence, which involves balletic swordplay worthy of the famous scene in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," will take your breath away.

      So Close is the film "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle" dreams of being: sleek, silly, completely ridiculous and irresistible.

      Cory Yuen's So Close is a kind of Hong Kong martial-arts variation on the Charlie's Angels movies, only better.

      So Close is a beautiful mess. I didn't really understand what was going on, but I loved every stylized minute of it.
