So Close (2002)

Blood ties can drive us to extraordinary lengths, especially when there's someone to avenge. Corey Yuen's slick Hong Kong action thriller "So Close" follows Lynn (Shu Qi) and Sue (Zhao Wei), two sisters who work as high-tech assassins. Using a sophisticated satellite surveillance system developed by their late father, they can tap into security cameras across the city, guiding each other through their hits with pinpoint precision. Lynn, the cool, experienced older sister, secretly dreams of leaving the business behind after falling for a gentle young man (Song Seung-heon), while the headstrong Sue craves more action. When a crooked businessman hires them to kill his older brother, a sharp-witted police inspector (Karen Mok) and her bumbling rookie partner start closing in. To cover his tracks, the businessman has Lynn killed and frames the policewoman. Grieving and furious, Sue must set aside her rivalry with her former pursuer, and the two unlikely allies join forces to bring him down, leading to a spectacular showdown inside a gleaming corporate tower. The playful rivalry between Zhao and Mok adds humor to the high-flying stunts, and the Carpenters' "(They Long to Be) Close to You" runs through the soundtrack. It's packed with high-kicking action in the spirit of "Charlie's Angels" and "The Matrix."
