This film screams of rip-off. From La Femme Nikita, Battle Royale, and Leon, scenes, elements, and even exact dialogue were stolen. From training women to be sexy assassins (Nikita) to having them fight it out to see who survives and becomes the "chosen one" (Battle Royale), to the cheesy sledge hammer to the wall only to make a hole large enough for one of us to fit scene (Leon).
And over/bad acting. I guess that's what happens when you get Asian models to play lead roles. Maggie Q is hot, no doubt, but she and everyone else in the cast could use an acting lesson or two. And the director might want to brush up on his English. Bad dialogue and delivery suck in any language... even if its your second or third. Not even the sneezes in the back of the truck were believable. I've seen better acting in a hardcore porn movie. Jenna Jameson's got more skills even when getting drilled by 2 dudes at once.
Truly disappointing.
The action might seem a bit tame for hardcore kung-fu fans (lots of wires and floaty camera moves disguise lack of fighting talent on the actors' parts), but for those of who just want to see some mindless violence, it does the job nicely. Unfortunately the plot has no direction (one set piece after another), and the dialogue is laughably bad. Thankfully, the cheesy lines are so bad they are actually quite entertaining, and blend in nicely with the whole B-movie feel of the film.
Far better than I expected- slick and escapist scenarios, high production values, and the action is great fun. I must however warn potential viewers that Daniel Wu is unspeakably bad as the earnest CIA guy on the tail of the killers- all he has to do is fill the audience in on the plot every now and again and get his ass kicked once. How hard can that be? Anyway, he messes that up nicely.
To conclude, Naked Weapon is the perfect film if you've been out drinking, come home at about 2.00 in the morning, and want to see a film where brain power is not expected from the audience. Two thumbs up!
Director Tony Ching offers a mix of compelling elements. While the film presents great action setups and an intriguing concept, it also includes some hard-to-watch abuse scenes that may unsettle viewers.
The performances by Maggie Q, Anya Wu, and Daniel Wu add a little depth, enhancing the overall rushed production. Maggie Q stands out, showcasing her talent in action sequences and dramatic scenes.
Despite its flaws, Ching delivers an engaging high concept. It's not just sexy, naked killers, with its blend of intense action, suspenseful moments, and strong performances makes it a worthwhile watch for those seeking a mix of adrenaline and drama.
It would've been more enjoyable if the action wasn't over the top...I mean come on, breaking glass that is thrown at you with your bare fists, catching the broken glass fragments, then throwing it back to where it came from? In one sequence? Please.
The dialogue was so cheesy, I couldn't tell if it was Swiss or cheddar.
I always thought that Daniel Wu was a decent actor, until this "action masterpiece" came along. He should choose his future roles carefully or get a better agent.
Another thing that bothered me was that there was this tree trying hard to act well....oh wait, that was Maggie Q. My mistake.
Do yourselves a favour...since they say this kind of movie is one where you leave your brain at the door before watching, make sure you know where you left it, because mine ran away realizing it doesn't want to go back in my head anymore after I saw this so-called, "movie". Go see "So Close" instead. At least the cast on that flick are proven "actors".
Could I have the 2 hours I wasted on this movie back please?
1/10. (1 for the effort)

- WissenswertesMark Aldred, who played the Russian crime boss (uncredited) was fired from his job as an English teacher in a Hong Kong primary school because the principal had discovered his role in this film. After a lengthy hearing, an industrial tribunal awarded Aldred HK$11,600 as a contract gratuity. However, it threw out his claim for around $79,000 in damages and dismissed Aldred's claims that his sacking was unlawful.

Charlene Ching: The water's so nice. I was sitting at the bottom of the ocean, Kat. It was *so* peaceful.
Katherine: [shakes her head] Have you ever thought that we'd have to kill someone we don't even know?
Charlene Ching: I don't dare to.
Katherine: It's not up to you. This is our fate together. We can't run from it.
Charlene Ching: I know I can't do it.
Katherine: Well, we'll make a lot of money for our life from here. We're gonna have to do it!
[Charlene looks down]
Katherine: Come on, let's go!
