I liked this movie, it was very goofy but if I hear another reviewer feel like they have to bag Charlie's Angels to review this film I'll rip my hair out. All the movies have in common is the fact that there are 3 women in leading roles but for those who bag on CA know this, So CLose wouldnt even have been made, got a limited theatrical release or even made it to video if it wasnt for CA.

Incorrect. HK cinema has had a history of female action heros for decades while the girls with guns genre is relatively new in western cinema. I don't see how you can claim that So Close would have never seen the light of day if it wasn't for Charlie's Angels. And yes, Charlie's Angels did suck.

this show is not bad. got stylish fighting scenes.

Yes, HK cinema has had a history of chick fighting flicks, but So CLose copies, to me, the style and look of CA, and thats just fact.
