Review of So Close (2009) by Steve W — 11 Apr 2015
So Close is so bad. From jarring tonal shifts, a romance that goes nowhere, overly stylistic action, and bad visual effects, this movie only has two things going for it. 1) Karen Mok is actually really good in the movie, and 2) the final samurai sword fight is good even great.
Everything else is cheesy with a capital "C", from the half-assed shootouts, the poorly done flashback, and after the 5th time of seeing really bad CGI glass breaking, you've just about had enough.
So Close is not even close to being a guilty pleasure, and I do not recommend it, even for action movie junkies.
