'Iron Sister' is set in the 30's and is about a young girl (Shu Qi) and her father that take in an injured man who is on the run after killing a Japanese Major. Soon after, this man begins to tear their world apart.
A very dark and depressing tale, 'Iron Sister' is of main interest to Shu Qi fans like myself, as her performance is excellent.
Unfortunatly the bravely downcast nature of the story is almost ruined by a truly ridiculous voice-over thrown in at the end, which almost make me want to rip the TV screen apart.
The film is also misrepresented by the DVD cover, which tries to make you believe you're watching a soft porn flick.
While it's hardly a 'must-see', 'Iron Sister' is almost certainly a 'should-probably-see' for any Shu Qi fan
