Description

International superstar Chow Yun-Fat (John Woo's Hard-Boiled) makes his Hollywood debut with Oscar® winner Mira Sorvino (1995 Best Supporting Actress, Mighty Aphrodite) in "The Replacement Killers," a fierce and explosive action thriller from director Antoine Fuqua (Coolio's "Gangsta's Paradise" video). After he betrays Mr. Wei, the ruthless crime boss who hired him to avenge his son's death, professional killer John Lee (Yun-Fat) goes on the run. Enlisting the aid of beautiful document forger Meg Coburn (Sorvino), Lee attempts to return to his family in China before they are victimized by his betrayal. But Wei's army of "replacement killers" is hot on his trail, and now both he and Meg are targets of their impressive firepower. With both sides fully armed and determined to fight to the death, an ultra-violent shootout breaks out when they finally face off against each other.

    Entertaining action (particularly, Chow Yun Fat's trademark style), good plot, and a few great characters and character development. Some of the fights have some cheesy-action-flick elements (such as bad guys dressed up like bad guys and excessively shooting up the place like bad guys, some innocent bystander casualties, etc.), but this is not really a problem when you realize that this is typical of a 90's action movie. The good things already mentioned make the movie stand out in contrast to your typical action flick. I think the Corruptor is perhaps a little better, but Chow Yun Fat is great in both this and that.
