Synopsis: A trio of elite private investigators armed with the latest in high-tech tools, high-performance vehicles, martial arts techniques and a vast array of disguises unleash their state-of-the-art... A trio of elite private investigators armed with the latest in high-tech tools, high-performance vehicles, martial arts techniques and a vast array of disguises unleash their state-of-the-art skills on land, sea and air to track down a kidnapped computer ace and keep his top-secret voice-identification software out of lethal hands.

They’re beautiful, they’re brilliant, and they work for Charlie. In Charlie’s Angels, a sexy, high-octane update of the original ’70s action-comedy TV series, Natalie (Cameron Diaz), Dylan (Drew Barrymore) and Alex (Lucy Liu), alongside faithful lieutenant Bosley (Bill Murray), must foil an elaborate murder-revenge plot that could not only destroy individual privacy worldwide, but spell the end of Charlie and his Angels.

Eric Knox (Sam Rockwell), the handsome, brainy founder of Knox Technologies, has just been kidnapped from his own office. Knox has designed a voice-identification software program that works more accurately than current fingerprinting techniques -- a scientific breakthrough that would mean disaster in the wrong hands.

Following Knox’s disappearance, Knox Technologies President Vivian Wood (Kelly Lynch) knows there’s only one man -- and three smart, sexy detectives -- to turn to. Hired to track down Knox, Charlie’s Angels set their sights on his rival, Roger Corwin (Tim Curry), who owns Red Star Systems, the world’s largest telecommunications satellite network. Undercover as geishas, belly dancers and racecar drivers, the Angels and Bosley search for clues and further infiltrate Corwin’s circle of friends and business associates. It appears the Angels are well on their way to solving their biggest case yet ... until Dylan responds to a mysterious phone call that puts all their lives -- including Charlie’s -- in danger once again.

Jumping out of planes, rewiring computers, going undercover -- it’s all in a day’s work for Charlie’s Angels as they must dish out equal doses of cool detective work, combat skill and lethal feminine charm to survive their riskiest assignment ever. [More]

It's a hollow package that dumbs down wherever possible.

The film is the equivalent of the 'dumb blonde' of action movies. No plot? No problem. Smile pretty now.

This is nothing but trailer moments. Ex-pop video director McG couldn't organise a pillow fight in a bedding factory.

Charlie's Angels is like a Hong Kong flick but without the bogus spirituality and excruciating schlock-pop ballads.

Charlie's Angels never slows down, and even when it's not delivering the thrills or a fun fight scene, it's being just plain funny.

A virtual big-budget explosion? Yes. A spectacle of three great actresses making fools of themselves? Sure. MTV-worthy martial arts monages that shamelessly rip off The Matrix? Yessireebob. But a movie? No. Not for an instant.

For a movie that gets its inspiration from one of the cheesiest television shows of the extra-cheesy 1970s, Charlie's Angels is surprisingly cool.

This is the enjoyably dumb action movie that Mission Impossible could (and should) have been.

A real mess, but that's somehow what makes it so damn fun.

Although the action movie is the last bastion of the male star, Charlie’s Angels should change all that.

This wants to spoof macho action movies.... But lacking a coherent script to link the jokes, these Angels are left without a prayer.

Diaz, Barrymore and Liu obviously relish each costume change and, unsurprisingly, they look sensational regardless of what they're wearing -- or not wearing, as the case may be.

A sassy, brassy, titillating bundle of joy, Charlie's Angels is as close to pure, unrepentant fun as any movie in years.

Es simplista y hasta boba. ¿Pero quién rayos se fija en el guión cuando Cameron Diaz desborda encanto(s) en la pantalla?

It drags in the middle. The winking and self awareness outstay their welcome. The characters aren't fully drawn. BUT SO WHAT?
