Product Details

Product Description

Amazon.ca

The director of Chow Yun-fat's first Hollywood outing, music-video veteran Antoine Fuqua, seems to be trying to squeeze the charismatic Asian superstar into a conventional American action-hero mold, and the results are dispiriting. Fuqua never lets this high-spirited actor smile, fetishizing him as a gunslinging clotheshorse in a series of garish, scenery-smashing battle scenes. As a paid assassin whose former employers turn against him, Chow enlists the help of an illegal documents specialist played, with surprising grit, by Mira Sorvino, and then spends most of the time fending off squads of killers in mirror shades. The movie is art-directed and photographed fit to kill (even the most routine incidents are eye-gougingly colorful) and edited to a hip-hop beat. It's garishly superficial. The frequent gunplay duels may keep action fans riveted, but they'll hate themselves in the morning. --David Chute

3.0 out of 5 stars throws believability way out the window Aug 21 2007
By falcon TOP 1000 REVIEWER
Format:DVD
wow.if you like relentless fast and furious action and stunts that
completely throw any semblance of believability out the window,this is
your movie.if you're really good at suspending your disbelief,you'll
probably like this movie.personally, think there's only so much the
human mind can accept,and for me,this movie far exceeds that limit.as
in another movie i reviewed,it would have been better if the characters
were all dressed in matching red capes and blue underwear.i also think
more bullets were used in this movie than were actually even
made.again,that's not to say that this is a bad movie.it's just that it
could have been so much better.after awhile,when moviegoers are
bombarded by wall to wall action and stunts that defy reality,they
become desensitized and are no longer impressed with such things.people
are smarter than filmmakers and studios think they are.anyway,i give
"The replacement Killers" a 3/5

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved it Oct 27 2003
By A Customer
Format:DVD
I have no idea how I first saw the movie, but I bought the video soon after. It has a great look. It's very sharp. It's in the tradition of the of unknown/unexpected heros coming along and taking care of the bad guys; so you don't need this big old character development. It has a great sort of mystical quality to it.

I've watched it many times and like it better each time I see it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fat and Sorvino work great Oct 22 2003
By Michael Bolts
Format:VHS Tape
the chemistry between the two leads is a treat and the stunts are super with Cow Yun Dat tearing up the asphalt and burning down the hitmen. though it runs out of fumes for a while then picks up with great gunplay and suspense. Antoine Fuqua's first feature film(you may know him as a music video director, or his other films like Training Day, Bait and Tears Of The Sun).
