Summary: Dead Cat
Comment: Whereas Point of No Return was basically La Femme re-heated and served covered in ketchup, this piece of junk is LFN sliced and diced and made into a horrible stir-fry. Really bad foreign flick, at several points it's college-level filmmaking... at its worst!

Summary: Black Cat - the terrible
Comment: This is one of the worst movies I have seen. Forget buying this DVD - even renting it is waste of money and time. Poor direction with equally poor plot and unthinkable dubbing. My question is why do people produce movies like this?

Summary: Disappointing...
Comment: This is a far inferior Hong Kong re-make of La Femme Nikita in which Jade Leung plays "Black Cat", a young drifter who is trained as an assassin after being taken into a secret organization. Leung is decent in her first role, but plays the part mostly through facial expressions - there aren't a lot of lines for her. Simon Yam, who is always fun to watch, plays her boss. Expect a lot of Hong Kong style action, with over the top violence and brutal fights. Unfortunately, the acting by the Caucasian cast is absolutely dreadful and seriously detracts from the overall movie. Pretty mediocre movie in the long run.

Summary: Did you like La Femme Nakita?
Comment: This is the best in a series of Hong Kong attempts to [emulate] La Femme Nakita (titles of others are escaping me). Don't let this turn you off if you are thinking this is going to be like that horrible Hollywood Bridget Fonda vehicle- Hong Kong will always do it better. I have friends that say this is better than the original, but I wouldn't go that far. I believe this is Jade Leung's first major role and she is great. She is not only beautiful, but can act. She makes this movie. In fact they made a sequel of this film due to it's popularity in HK.Jade plays a Chinese-American who gets in a scrap at a truck stop and accidently kills a cop. She is then killed by assasins, or is she. The CIA has actually taken her, put a chip in her to enhance her physical prowess, and now she is an assasin for them. She falls in love along the way and ...
The funny thing about this movie is that I think it was filmed entirely over seas, but the first half is suppossed to take place in the US. So the entire first half is in English, even parts where the story is in HK are in English. Otherwise the usual weird/absurd subtitle translations are in effect. Overall DVD quality is very good.
