Synopsis
Three girls work as an elite crime-fighting team for a multi-billionare that contacts them through a man named Bosley. Based on the 70s TV series, this film concentrates on one of the many missions they receive: to retrieve the property of a rich software designer that was kidnapped by an opposing company. As the truth is revealed, the angels don't know who they can and can't trust, and must use martial art techniques, sexual appeal, and ultimate intelligence to accomplish their goal.
Summary
'Charlie's Angels' is definitely one of the best movies of the year. It's definitely not a thought-inducing movie that makes you analyze the story, but it's certainly one of the most feel good flicks out there. Diaz, Barrymore and Liu provide action-filled entertainment along with a strong comic performance. If there's one action movie out there you need to see, it's this one.
