The
Skinny: |
Action,
action and more action. Everything else is mediocre, but the
insanely creative action sequences more than make up for the
film's numerous faults. |

Review
by Kozo: |
There's this missing piece of microfilm and Michelle Yeoh
and Cynthia Rothrock team up to get it. Plot-wise, that's
about it for this lightweight action picture from director
Corey Yuen. There are some miniature hijinks featuring a trio
of losers played by John Sham, Mang Hoi and Tsui Hark (yep,
that Tsui Hark), but little other wackiness exists in the
movie. Little acting exists either, but that's okay, because
Yes Madam makes up for all of the above deficiencies
with some of the most bone-crunching action sequences ever
seen. Michelle Yeoh and Cynthia Rothrock both do some spectacular
work, and Corey Yuen keeps the action front and center. After
witnessing all the glass-breaking mayhem, you may even forgive
Michelle Yeoh for dressing like a member of the Go-Gos. This
movie is dated, but does anyone really care? I don't. Besides,
there's a chapter skip on my remote control. (Kozo 1997) |
