The TOUCH features Michelle Yeoh as the protector of the Sharira. The Sharira is said to contain the soul of a powerful holy man. Her family is from a long line of acrobats who were entrusted with this important duty by Monks. When a rich art collector tries to steal this treasure, Michelle must stop him at all costs.

Not much of a summary of the story this time because there really isn't much more to the plot. I was actually hesitant about writing this review because I had such high hopes for the movie and I ended up being very disappointed. I have read reviews that really bash this movie because of the acting and story. I won't do that because both of which aren't very different than a Jackie Chan movie. The difference is that Jackie's movies work more often than not. I'll just say that the movie looks rushed and unfinished. At least two scenes look like they never got the perfect take so they went with the best they had. The editing looks like it could have been tighter as there are scenes that just seem to have been finished 2 seconds before there is a cut. I also think that some sound looping could have really enhanced some of the performances in this movie. There are also times when two characters will be in the same scene and talk to each other like they aren't in the same room together. The finally also contains some CGI effects that are more akin to a computer game cut screen than a motion picture. All these things give the feeling that a little more time in post production would have made this a better movie. I'm not talking about a Miramax style edit here. The movie just looks more like a work print. Even the action scenes look almost clumsy as far as editing goes. Frames are dropped to make things look faster but it almost looks like a jump cut instead.

THE TOUCH is only recommended for die hard Michelle Yeoh fans. There isn't that much action and the fights just don't pack the wallop that they should. If you still want to see this movie, rent it instead of buying it.
