So Close

Two sisters, Lynn and Sue, work as professional assassins. Lynn carries out the killings while Sue handles the technical side, using surveillance and computer skills to get past security systems. Their reputation brings them to the attention of Kong Yat Hung, a determined police detective who begins to close in on them. At the same time, the people who hired the sisters turn against them, and the women are forced to reconsider where their loyalties lie.

So Close is a 2002 Hong Kong action thriller directed by Corey Yuen, the twelfth of the fourteen films he directed in chronological order, arriving between The Transporter and The Twins Effect II. The screenplay is by Jeff Lau Chun-Wai, with Chui Po-Chu producing for Columbia Pictures Film Production Asia and Eastern Productions. Shu Qi plays Lynn and Zhao Wei plays Sue, while Karen Mok Man-Wai appears as Kong Yat Hung. Song Seung-heon, Yasuaki Kurata and Michael Wai Chi-Ho are among the credited cast of thirty-three.
