Jacklyn Wu gives a great performance in this dark Action Movie!

Jacklyn Wu plays an assassin who has no memories of family, friends, or any sort of past to cling too. Her character is so detached, that killing causes no emotion or regret. The title of the movie "Beyond Hypothermia" refers to her body temperature which is 5 degrees lower then a normal human being. The only time this killing machine feels any warmth is when she is in the company of a noodle chef who makes her a gourmet bowl after each of her killings. He reminds me of the Chinese version of Benecio Del Torro. The two strike a friendship and eventual love for one another. But like most Chinese films, this love is doomed and tragedy ensues. I thought this was a better film then "Point of No Return" and "La Femme Nakita" However, there is one disturbing scene of violence which I truly detested and thought was uncalled for. On a personal note, Jacklyn Wu is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful actresses in the world. You can't take your eyes off her and her performance is mezmerizing!
