Don't go in the sewers!
15 January 2004
Warning: Spoilers
The plot: Male babies are being stolen from under the noses of mothers and hospitals, and no one is able to spot the kidnapper (turns out she's invisible). Both "Wonder Woman" (no relation) and her police-inspector husband are trying to solve the case in their own ways. A thief-catcher (something like a bounty hunter?) offers her services to the cops, but at a price.

Spoilers:

Who's behind all this? A scary albino eunuch with magic powers who lives in an underworld reachable only through the sewers. He's kidnapping babies because he believes one of them will be the next emperor, and he wants to control that baby. He apparently has been kidnapping children for some time, brainwashing them, feeding them on raw meat (often human flesh) and making them into his mindless minions.

The movie is really fun, holds together well, and the policeman husband isn't half the bozo that some people seem to think he is - all three of the women were trained in magic martial arts since childhood, so by comparison he looks wimpy, but he's still willing to lay it on the line to stop other cops from getting blown up by mines. Credit where credit is due.
