The first concerns the complications of a workplace romance and marriage between a dedicated policewoman Mina Kao and her supervisor Huang Tsung Pao. The second theme concerns the opposition of the Huang family to the couple’s impending union. Another policewoman, Mina’s future sister-in-law, Chia Ling, is especially critical of apparent favoritism, and even makes a remark about her being Eurasian. The third axis provides a resolution as a gang of Vietnamese led by Yuan Hua attempts a violent and risky robbery. (Source: Wikipedia) Edit Translation

Reviews
She shoots, but does she score?
She shoots, but does she score? Well, between the copious amounts of histrionic, clichéd melodrama with scenes that go on for way too long, She Shoots Straight provides some genuinely uproarious and well-done action that wouldn't be out of place this side of Michelle Yeoh. Corey Yuen certainly brings variety to the film's kinetic style, particular standouts being a shootout shot in infrared and the storming of a ship with every manner of melee weapon imaginable, Yuen understands when to add a dramatic weight to make a true impact. Complimented by a decent if cheesy score by Lowell Lo, while the performances of Joyce Godenzi and Carina Lau balance out the deranged villainous antics of Yuen Wah. She Shoots Straight isn't bad by any means but the story doesn't make me really care about any of its sapy soap opera characters beyond a surface level while the action is too few and far between but finally delivers that explosive Hong Kong finale that you wait the whole film for, it just really needed some spicing up during the sluggish first half.Also, Joyce Godenzi should have totally lost that final fight against Agnes Aurelio.
