Lethal Panther (1991)
Reviewed by: hkcinema on 1999-12-08
A tale of loyalty, betrayal, and honor among thieves with morethan a passing nod to John Woo's "The Killer". Maria Jo and Yoko Miyamoto are professional female assassins whose most recent jobs are to kill each other. CIA agent Sibelle Hu is busy trying to track them down and break up a counterfeiting operation at the same time. This is far from great film making and the continuity is atrocious, but there are some excellent "girls with guns" action sequences, highlighted by intelligent camera work and thoughtful slow motion shots. Maria Jo's performance burns with fierce intensity and she dominates every scene that she's in.
