Review by gridoon

I guess "uneven" is the word that best describes this movie. The (few) fight scenes are actually very good, reminiscent of the good old days of HK cinema, and the girls are extremely sexy, especially Li Shan Shan and Fei Lei. But there is also a lot of silly, childish comedy that either doesn't translate very well or simply isn't very funny in the first place. And there is also a lot of extraneous material, like the romantic complications in the life of Carina Lau. It's true that with a different, more to-the-point approach "Cop Shop Babes" could have been a great girls-with-guns flick. But, for fans of this subgenre, there is still enough good stuff here (mostly in the first and the last 15 minutes) to make this worth your time. (**1/2)
