I don't know about you, but I am tired of that dull cliche of a plot - a babe comes to a drunk and over-the-hill PI, cop, marshal, just strong guy, and asks him to find, pursue, kill, some bad guy... he refuses at first... only to later join forces with her.
Dumb and overdone, and only works when the babe is real looker, in very short skirt, so you feel a bit jealous of the old no good for nothing anymore guy. Some steamy sex scenes provide the much needed third leg.
That plot is OK for a modern trash action flick, but definitely not a film with serious aspirations.
There are a couple of Korean actresses that would do credible job in such a movie... but you already know that.
