Entertainment Reviews:
...THE REPLACEMENT KILLERS is a dazzlingly slick actioner that should not only thrill Chow's many devoted fans, but win him legions of new admirers as well...

Rating: 3/4 --
The Replacement Killers is as abstract as a jazz instrumental, and as cool and self-assured.

...it's ultimately impossible not to wonder what Chow, making his English-language debut here, was thinking when he signed up for the project.

...[Sorvino] attacks her role with skill. She never smiles until the final scene, but has stolen the show long before...

Will serve as a suitable replacement when [Chow Yun Fat's] better films are already rented out for the weekend.

Style over substance all the way, but at least it's not boring.

The Replacement Killers is not a very good film, but it is impossible to deny that it has a certain beauty.

Product Description:
Versatile Hong Kong box office giant Chow Yun-Fat makes a Hollywood splash as a John Lee, Chinese hitman beholden to drug kingpin Mr. Wei (Hong Kong stalwart Ken Tsang, in an interesting reversal of his "crusty cop" persona). The good news is that Lee's free after one hit; the bad news is that Wei wants revenge on a cop who killed his son--by killing the cop's son. Lee decides to run rather than kill the boy, and Wei doesn't take kindly to the betrayal. Tough-talking passport forger Meg Coburn (Mira Sorvino) creates a new identity for Lee, but that's of little help when they must face Wei's army of "replacement killers." First-timer Fuqua provides eye-candy visuals and plenty of action set pieces. John Woo executive produced.
