International superstar Chow Yun-Fat (John Woo's Hard-Boiled) makes his Hollywood debut with Oscar(r) 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.

A stylish action thriller introducing China's top action star to western cinema. A crisp story line set amongst the concepts of honour, family and revenge. With set piece action sequences to rival the Untouchables. Sit back and enjoy the show

Great action movie, makes a change to see a decent female co star for once, it seems rare in movies these days. Mira Sorvino is great in this, alongside Chow Yun-Fat of course. Highly recommended!

Great film. Man I miss the 90's AA movies!
