The Replacement Killers (Blu-ray Disc)

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. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.
