Charlie's Angles: Full Throttle

<div class="section1"><div class="Normal"><span style="" font-weight:="" bold="">Cast</span>: Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, Lucy Liu <br /><span style="" font-weight:="" bold="">Direction</span>: McG<br /><span style="" font-weight:="" bold="">Rating</span>: ***<br />Three''s company despite the difference in temperaments and even hair colour of the female triumvirate.Also known as Charlie''s Angles, who return full throttle with new combat tricks up their lycra sleeves.<br /><br />The ''angels'', who originated in a 1970s TV series and raked up $250 million with their first feature film three years ago, are back in action to kick butt and some more. A ditzy blonde (Diaz), an insolent red-head (Barrymore) and a brunette oriental (Liu) are raring to go as soon as their boss Charlie (voiced by John Forsythe) assigns them to retrieve two files of an FBI Witness Programme.<br /><br />A chain of mysterious murders must stop right away. So the yummy eye-bonbons jump into their chic designer outfits, slap on perfect make-up and display the sort of sleuthing skills that would make everyone from Mata Hari and Modesty Blaise to James Bond pea-green with envy.<br /><br />In the post-feminist scenario, the threesome are deadlier than the male, making mincemeat of the creepy-crawly villain (Justin Theroux). For extra menace, a good-gal-gone-diabolical (Demi Moore) steams and sizzles to stop the angels in their tracks. No trophies for guessing whether the valiant troika or Lady Diabolique triumphs in the end.<br /><br />Thrill-a-minute is the calling card of this unpretentious sequel. Martial arts, techno-snazzy gunfights, mobike daredevilry, bikini-beach frolicking, surfing stunts - you name it, you got it.<br /><br />In the absence of a substantial plot, director McG keeps the entertainment pot boiling. Snatches of pop-rock songs punctuate the soundtrack in a bid to keep the teeny music boppers smiling. Don''t expect any surprises from the performances. Moore, returning three years after the flop of Passion Of Mind, as well as the three leading femmes fit the bill perfectly. Here''s a movie that''s mindless and proud of it. Leave your thinking faculties at home. <br /><br /><br /><a href="javascript:cmspopup(%27reviewlist?msid=1099274211%27,220,215)">CLICK HERE</a><span style="" font-family:="" ms="" shell="" dlg=""> </span><span style="" font-family:="" ms="" sans="" serif="" font-weight:="" bold="">to</span><span style="" font-family:="" ms="" sans="" serif=""> </span><span style="" font-weight:="" bold="">write your own review</span><br /><br /></div> </div>
