    When a hired assassin fails to kill the young son of a detective for a ruthless drug runner, he and a hapless forger are hunted by his replacements. In this, Chow Yun Fat's Hollywood debut, he revisits his familiar assassin with honour character in a fairly standard action thrill...( read more)er. There's very little imagination or originality on display; the script does little more than contrive ways to keep our hero and the girl together while extras in bad suits with machine guns chase them around. Having said that, there's very little actually WRONG with it either. Chow is as charismatic as ever, Mira Sorvino is knuckle-bitingly cute and the set pieces are reasonably well handled. It avoids schmaltz and lame love scenes and at less than 90 minutes is wise enough to not outstay its welcome. Brainless yes, but the charisma of its star raises it (slightly) above the bog standard and its far from the worse US debut an Asian action star has had to endure.

    A very cool stylized action film with plenty of shoot outs and a good cast. If you missed this it's well worth a watch.

    A blistering, stylish, explosive and undeniably cool groove of an action movie. Director, Antoine Fuqua does here what Director, John Woo has done delivering plenty of excitement and energy. A hard-boiled action-thriller fuelled with amasing gun-battles and a riveting performance...( read more) by Chow Yun-Fat. An unforgettable adreniline-rush from start to finish.

    This and that movie with Marky Mark just shows one thing clear: Hollywood has no idea how to pull out an action flick, or a crime drama, like HK.

    Enjoyable action flick with Chow Yun Fat and Mira Sorvino. It might not be quite as brilliant as a lot of Chow Yun Fat's HK output but some good action sequences nevertheless.

    The biggest action hero of our t...( read more)ime Chow Yun Fat hits the screen in this awesome-action-packed extravaganza, The Replacement Killers. (Chow Yun Fat) is Jon Lee, an assassin who is hired by a rich triad to kill a cop (Michael Rooker) who killed his son during a brutal shooutout. Jon ends up betraying the triad by not completing the mission. From there, Jon is being hunted by the triad who sends professional killers to kill him. While, Jon is on the run, he meets a sexy prositute named Meg (Mira Sorvino) who helps him fight the killers. As Jon & Meg are fighting off the bad guys, Jon finds out the triad doesn't want to kill the cop but his son. Now, Jon & Meg must protect the cops son by going in an all out war with the highly trained replacement killers.

    The Replacement Killers is a top notch explosive action film. This movie is very entertaining & fast paced. Chow Yun Fat & Mira Sorvino at their best being the badasses that stole the show. Them alone made a great team as the gunslingers. There are alot of shootouts from start to finish that are balls off the wall full of enjoyable. Overall, I recommend this movie for hard boiled action & Chow Yun Fat/Mira Sorvino fans. Two Thumbs Very High Up for this stylish exciting action picture thats the best of its kind.
