If you loved So Close, try The Bodyguard from Beijing

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Corey Yuen, and they sit in Action / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to So Close, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Bodyguard from Beijing is

Hong Kong. Rainy season. A shattered glass. A mainland bodyguard arrives to shield a woman targeted for knowing too much. Two local cops bristle at the assignment. Jet Li doing Kurosawa by way of Jackie Chan.
