Movie Review: Naked Weapon (LoveHKFilm)
Babes,
bullets and lots of kicking are the selling points of this Naked Killer-rehash,
and in that Naked Weapon is a total success. You get babes (gorgeous
models Maggie Q and Anya), bullets (there's gunplay), and lots of kicking (Ching
Siu-Tung directed). The rest of the film features nonsensical storytelling,
egregious English dialogue, laughably bad acting, and some ugly moments that
could only be called "tasteless exploitation." Not surprisingly, this is a Wong
Jing production.
Naked Weapon tells the tale of a female assassin ring trained and
operated by Madame M (Almen Wong). When her one-and-only assassin gets offed,
she regroups by kidnapping the world's most atheltic and fight-ready young
girls, and whisks them away to a private island.
