Synopsis: The Angels are three gifted female detectives (Diaz, Barrymore, Liu) operating for the millionaire but discrete Charlie. They are hired to investigate voice recognition software theft and GPS satellites.
Review: Waw, I didn't remember it was so bad. What a shock. I knew it was just an action movie, but watching it again after 10 years I was annoyed by the epileptic rythm, quick and loud music changing too often, cheap special effects, poor jokes and cheap attempts at arousing the viewer by showing the three main actresses in ever thinner clothes and sexy poses.
To keep from this movie is the excellent character of thin man (I liked the translated name in French of "sac d'os") played by the wonderful Crispin Glover that you loved in Back to the Future and that was already playing a tortured character in Willard (a man in love with rats!). The man doesn't say a word during the whole movie. In particular I liked his first fight scene with the Angels at the sound of Prodigy.
You can forget about the rest of the movie. I will watch the sequel (Full Throttle) soon anyway, on a day when I don't want to use my brain.
Rating: 3 /10
