The Heroic Trio
“Each holds a secret power... together they face the ultimate evil!”
Certified Crap. CrapScore 61, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
Three women with conflicting loyalties confront a villain who has been stealing babies. Michelle Yeoh, Maggie Cheung and Anita Mui give Johnnie To's superhero fantasy a remarkable centre. Levitating combat, bizarre technology and Gothic melodrama combine into a deliberately extravagant action film.
