The Film:
I personally consider this one to be a drama rather than an action movie.
Michelle stars as Ah Kam, a role which is quite different from all other characters she has created on screen. This is the only time (if we don't count The Owl vs Dumbo) that I see Michelle playing a non-hero type of role. However, her performance is absolutely outstanding. With very touching and realistic details, Michelle brings the character of Ah Kam to life and gives her complexity as well as humanity.
Ah Kam is an ordinary but yet very special stuntwoman. She's poor, humble, lonely, having to deal with a harsh daily life; but she's also brave, sincere, strong, and manages to shine through even the darkest day.
Besides the last part, which seems irrelevant to the story, I like the movie a lot.
The outtakes show the accident that got Michelle badly injured while filming this movie in 1995. Thank God nothing was permanent.
