Movies that feel likeNaked Weapon (2002)

A mysterious woman, known as Madame M, kidnaps forty pre-teen girls and transports them to a remote island to train them as the most deadly assassins. CIA operative Jack Chen follows the case for 6 years with no leads, but when a series of assassinations begin to occur, Jack suspects that Madame M is back in business.

If you loved Naked Weapon, the closest films we have are Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance (2002), New Police Story (2004) and The Villainess (2017). All three share Naked Weapon's kinetic and tense feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Rolling Thunder (1977).
