            Simply fantastic

            This is the movie that actually opened my eyes to the Asian cinema. Of course I had watched other Asian movies, but never been super interested because of the language (of course, I was familiar with early Jackie Chan movies).

            And at the same time, this is also the movie that opened up my eyes to the talent of Cheung Man Yuk (Maggie).

            This movie is quite cool. It has lots of action and an alright story line, though a bit cheesy at times. But you live with it, because the movie is in fast pace from start till end.

            The characters in the movie are well played, particularly the 3 heroines portrayed by Maggie Cheung, Anita Muy and Michelle Yeoh. The bad guys and supporting roles were nice as well.

            "Heroic Trio" is a nice movie to come out of Asian film market. If you like Asian movies and action movies, then definitely pick up this one. You will not be disappointed.
