AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

George Clarke Oh how we miss the days of Hong Kong's golden age when the girls kicked butt and pulled of some amazing stunt work that even shamed the very best of Hollywood!Beauty Investigator is just one of those. From crazed director Lee Tso- Nam (Kung Fu Wondechild) comes this nut-job of a film that is packed with daft comedy, plenty of action, and 3 of the finest women ever to grace the action screen.Its always nice to see Moon Lee and Yukari Oshima fight each other, but I also love it when they team up. And in Beauty Investigator you get a bit of both!Its the usual plot nonsense of bad guys and undercover cops, but thankfully the hard hitting fight scenes keep you gripped and with an end battle that is just raw and fantastic.It may not be a classic, but Beauty Investigator is well worth the watch!

gridoon2018 Moon Lee and another cute Chinese girl as bickering police partners, Yukari Oshima as a mysterious and highly efficient Japanese hitwoman, Sophia Crawford as the main villain's assistant / mistress. Sounds great, but it's only OK. The main problem is the jarring shift in tone, from lighthearted to grim: it's like watching parts of "The Inspector Wears Skirts" and "In The Line Of Duty" in the same film. The big plot twist near the end is equally jarring and rather nonsensical. The fight scenes are pretty good, but unfortunately some of them are poorly lit (or maybe the poor DVD transfer is more to blame). The most unexpected bonus in watching "Beauty Investigator" comes from Sophia Crawford's shower scene: this woman's body is the perfect combination of power and femininity. (**1/2)

unbrokenmetal Two young and inexperienced female police inspectors are instructed to find a killer in a nightclub. Grace (Kim Je Kee) and Ellen (Moon Lee) succeed in doing that, but at the same time get into much more serious trouble with organized crime. When Grace is killed, Ellen wants to avenge her, but who would help her against the gangsters? And whose side is the mysterious Japanese assassin (Cynthia Luster) really on?The script seems to rely a bit too much on well-known ingredients, including a sometimes silly touch of comic relief: Grace and Ellen are constantly accusing each other of mistakes and are worried about their looks more than any loaded guns. Lots of fights and a larger-than-life Cynthia Luster kept me awake, one amazing motorbike stunt by the way, so I voted 5 of 10 for this one - there's better and worse movies in the girls-with-guns genre.
