The Replacement Killers reviews

The Replacement Killers holds a 6.3/10 average from 605 TMDB ratings.

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**

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…
— Dr Nostromo (7/10)

Hired assassin John Lee is asked by Chinatown crime boss Terence Wei to murder the young son of policeman Stan Zedkov.
