Too much of everything
Good concept, poorly executed.
Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
this movie has hot babes, and hot action. That's the good part. The bad part is some woeful dialogUE, and an unconvincing lurch into a romance of sorts. Believe me, i have nothing against movies following unpredictable patterns if they work. See the host as a very good example. But here, and I guess because of the bad dialogue particularly in an ice cream trunk sequence. the action sequences are the only things of merit. Thankfully there are enough of them to make watching this movie worthwhile.
So the girls are quizzed on the vintage of their wines, & of course all get the answers correct... except nobody identified the POISON contained therein ? This was my 1st 'action movie' from HK & I come away feeling pretty good.Along the way, you could see the differences between this and someone making it say, in the U.S With deaths of main characters along the way, that might not have been filmed. The 'puppet scene' I found a little disturbing, but I guess being my 1st I didn't know just what to expect. I will watch again. The idea of a collective of very young children stolen & trained for future assassination jobs is a nice idea, but again worrying :)
What a godawfully hilarious film. Naked Weapon is a film where not one single person has been cast because of their acting abilities. The delivery of the stale dialogue is painful at times. Once you get past all the hot girls kicking arse, there's nothing else. Its ultimate sin is to take itself too seriously. The editing is a huge pile of gobshite. People dive through the air and just don't stop. Sometimes it seems like a spoof. One scene has two women diving over a sofa in slow motion, without it feeling like part of the fight. By the end the film just gives up, introducing a new antagonist, despite the obvious build up of the Madame M character. The final fight makes no sense, like a lot of the dialogue, as people balance on the heads of their opponents and spin round and around. Delightfully cheesy, and painfully bad in equal measure.
Naked Weapon is an action-thriller film directed by action choreographer Tony Ching.It stars starring Maggie Quigley better known as Maggie Q together with Anya Wu and Daniel Wu. The screenplay,written by prolific film producer Wong Jingapon,is similar in theme though unrelated to his earlier work Naked Killer. The film revolves around three female assassins who get close to their targets, primarily through seduction, before they kill them.The story starts when countless little girls are growing up all over Asia, but it seems that those that are pretty and athletic could never escape the inescapable fate - they suddenly vanish without a trace. The culprit is Madame M,leader of an international assassin group. Ruthless and bright, she kidnaps and trains up young and gorgeous girls to be cold-blooded professional killers. The girls all possess the ultimate weapon: Their seductive bodies to lure men into bed, and strike when they are at their weakest. Girls from all over the world are dumped onto a remote training camp, including Charlene and Katt. Charlene is the apple of her mother's eye, and Katt is strong and independent. In this horrific Killers' Camp, there is only one rule: Survival of the fittest. An elimination system was adopted to make these girls kill one another, so only the creme de la creme remains. Among the toughest time, Charlene and Katt have developed a close relationship and watch one another's back. Bo realizes she has fallen in love with Charlene, and she will do anything to keep her from harm. Five years later, JACK (Daniel Wu), a CIA Commanding Officer, is close on the trail of Madame M. During a dragon boat race in Hong Kong, Jack encounters Charlene while she is at work. Charlene is about to strike, when she is shocked to see her long-lost mother Faye. Meanwhile, Madame M decides to join forces with Ruichi,leader of a Japanese terrorist group. He yearns for Charlene, and Madame M takes Faye and Katt as hostages to make Charlene compromised. For her mother and lover, Charlene returns to end this once and for all,engaging in a series of hair-raising battles. She will use her ultimate naked weapon on Madame M, and the next second would be in the hands of fate.CIA agent Jack Chan has stayed on the trail of the girls since their disappearance. When he finally catches up to Charlene, Jack is nearly done in by her alluring but deadly qualities.The movie is pure action entertainment presenting sexy and hot women in an action movie.The fight scenes and action sequences were definitely its main feature as it tries more to please the viewer with the use of CGI to the point of looking implausible and unrealistic.Obviously,they were well-choreographed by director Tony Ching.With regards to the performances of the cast,obviously Maggie Q has great screen presence that one would not admire her for acting skills but rather with her characterization of a beautiful and sexy woman who has the ability to kill.Aside from that,the story will more into action although it tries too hard to have drama in terms of having the relationship of Charlene and her mother come into the picture or romance when the unexplained attraction and love story between Charlene and Jack comes also into place.But inspite of that,both plot devices were simply contrived as it never really can escape the fact that this is a an action film.The viewer should take this movie as it is and never bother to question its realism for its main purpose and objective is to entertain with the awe especially with fight sequences that are original and action scenes that are dramatic especially when hot female action stars like Maggie Q are involved.
