Rating (1-10, 10 being highest): 4
Quick Rating: (skip, watch, watch when no other choice): Skip It
Story Line: Jason Statham leads a small team to deal with a bank robbery case.
What's good: Nothing stands out.
What's bad: You would thought with Jason Straham and Wesley Snipes there will be a lot of fighting and fast action - wrong.
Bottom line: Not much action, plot has its twist but nothing new, not worth your time.

Eastern Promises
Rating (1-10, 10 being highest): 7.5
Quick Rating: (skip, watch, watch when no other choice): Watch It
Story Line: A "God Father" type movie about Russian mafia in London.
What's good: Viggo Mortensen is very good as the main character. The movie has a good storyline and suspense plays out well. The bath house fight was the climax and very good.
What's bad: It does not have a lot of fighting scenes (but the killings are graphic).
Bottom line: A very good mafia/ganster/god father type movie.

So Close
Rating (1-10, 10 being highest): 5.5
Quick Rating: (skip, watch, watch when no other choice): Watch when no other choice
Story Line: A sister band vs bad guys vs a tough woman cop - Hongkong movie.
What's good: Shu Qi as the elder sister as well as Mo Wen Wei as the cop are really good. The action sequence is stylish but not fast or intense enough. The storyline is typical but worthwhile - has touchy moments.
What's bad: The movie is made years ago so does not have the best action sequence.
Bottom line: I will say it is an above average hongkong action movie with gun shots, car chase and marshal arts. If you are a Shu Qi fan, it is then a must watch.

Bottom line: Watching this movie is like playing a gun shooting game in the arcade, pretty much just keep shooting. Yes, it's more an arcade experience than a movie. Don't expect storyline or acting.
