The Replacement Killers
Kill or be replaced.
Hired assassin John Lee is asked by Chinatown crime boss Terence Wei to murder the young son of policeman Stan Zedkov. Lee has the boy in his sights, but his conscience gets the better of him, and he spares the child's life. Afraid that Wei will take revenge on his family in China, Lee seeks out expert forger Meg Coburn to obtain the passport he needs to get out of the country, but a band of replacement killers is soon on his trail.

66/100 For his directorial debut, Antoine Fuqua ("The Equalizer", "Training Day", "Shooter") gives us a shoot 'em up, action piece straight out of the John Woo instruction manual. A hit man refuses to fulfill his last assignment putting his own family in peril. Providing just enough of a story for us to follow, this film is really nothing more that one gunfight after another ...but that's OK. The action choreography, the colorful characters, especially the chemistry between Chow Yun-Fat & Mira Sorvino, and the overall level of excitement works extremely well. Good fun! -- DrNostromo.com

Not a great action-thriller (one of many of the East meets West team-up pictures of the late 90s/early aughts) but has its moments and liked the pairing of Chow Yun-fat and Bridget Fonda. Still relatively entertaining though apparently highly edited by the studio removing much of the romance between Yun-Fat and Fonda, with only little bits of dialogue left over. **3.25/5**
