Naked Weapon is an
action film about a young girl who is kidnapped and trained to be an
international assassin. Charlene (Maggie Q) and other girls are taken
by Madam M (Almen Wong). She trains them brutally for 6 years and only
three of the girls survive: Charlene, her friend Kat (Anya) and the
ruthless Jing (Jewel Lee). Upon graduation the three are loosed into
the world to do contract killings.
Meanwhile CIA Agent Jack Chen (Daniel Wu) has been after Madam M for
the last six years. When word gets out that the "China Dolls" have
returned he is back on the case, with or without CIA support. Jack
meets Maggie and falls for her. But Maggie has a last job to free her
friend Kat from a criminal boss out to take revenge on Madam M and her
assassins.
It was an ok movie. The martial are a bit too stylized. There is quite
a bit of CGI effects to take the place of good martial arts action.
About half of the movie is training and the challenges the girls face.
Overall it's a sexy film done in English with action that relies a bit
too much on CGI effects.
