This didn't turn out to be quite the deserving American vehicle for Hong Kong action superstar Chow Yun-fat that it should have been. But it is an entertaining potboiler about a hired gun (Chow) who fails to carry out an assignment to kill a cop (which would leave the fellow's son without a father), and becomes a target himself when the contract is handed over to other assassins. Mira Sorvino plays a document forger who is drawn into the fray, pairing up with the hero as they fight their way out of bad spots. The whole enterprise is a little too routine, but the action is sharp and the battles are imaginative and crisp. Director Antoine Fuqua has a by-the-numbers feeling for the influence of Hong Kong on contemporary thrillers (this film was also produced by John Woo), and that's enough to make The Replacement Killers purely enjoyable if not exactly a revelation. --Tom Keogh

 Shootem Up and More June 24, 2008
I just love watching this movie, and I only have the VHS version. I doubt that there is a better "shootem up" movie around. I also enjoy the relationship develop between Chow Yun-Fat's and Mira Sorvino's characters. All the acting was good to me. As for Mira Sorvino, there is probably not a hotter actress with a gun in her hand as she. If you like seeing the bad guys get what they deserve, this is the movie for you!
Better than they say May 27, 2008
There's not much I can say that hasn't been covered. I purchased the "extended edition" then this one. Why? This one has all the good special features.
I know it's hard to justify buying a movie twice. But the extras on this one are worth as much as the extended cut on the other version.

Hi folks! This film is having a good stuffs of non stop action and presented in 1080P with beautiful transfer and blowing sound. You will enjoy the evening with a bag of popocorn disappearing just like that as the action scenes. Yun fat is known to us and become famous in USA with this film and recently we saw him hin at Pirates at Worlds end. Folks you can try this one for your collection and never fails.
This is straight up Gun-Fu February 11, 2008

Replacement Killers stars Chow Yun-Fat(John Lee) & Mira Sorvino(Meg Coburn) in an action packed blastfest. Those who are familiar with Chow Yun-Fat(Killer & Hard Boiled)knows what he brings to the table. Lots of gunplay and high body counts. Even though this pales in comparison to his other two movies it still delivers.
John Lee works as a hitman until he decides not to pull off his last hit. This angers his employer and now he wants John dead. Meg Coburn finds herself caught in this feud and has to defend herself as well. The acting is ok but it's the action that counts. And you get a good dose of it. Cheesy at times but it never gets weak.
If you're new to Chow Yun Fat, his earlier movies The Killer and Hard Boiled are Gun-Fu at it's finest. I recommend those first but this is still good.

It is really worth the money if you want to know some of the background story lines.
