Alec B 12/13/2023 Fuqua was doing his best possible imitation of John Woo here, but all it did was invite comparisons to those much better action films. See more DanTheMan 2 09/29/2023 Extended Cut A well-paced and highly glossy version of a Hong Kong action movie, just made in America, The Replacement Killers marks both the directorial debut of Antoine Fuqua and the international debut of the embodiment of coolness himself, Chow Yun-fat. Chow's unshakable cool presence is inescapable in the midst of a pretty barebones story, it isn't boring, but it could have amounted to a lot more, particularly as the final showdown is so thrillingly chaotic and brutal. No wonder, as the set pieces were all choreographed by John Woo, they shine amidst the chaotic production and how much this film was torn apart in the edit. With some great performances, especially Mira Sorvino and Chow, given he was learning English at the time and a darkly hypnotic synth-driven score by Harry Gregson-Williams (later getting him the job composing for Metal Gear Solid), The Replacement Killers manages to overcome its ho-hum narrative by just being good at what it does. See more carlos t 06/18/2022 Minha opinião: Um filme de 1998 e você pode assistir nos dias de hoje que não sentira diferença. Um clássico filme ao estilo #chinês de #máfia e #vingança O tempero não muda, mas bem feito. Boa atuação Cho Yun-Fat, Mira Sorvino que na época bem jovem e linda. Temos também Michael Rooker, Danny Trejo. Muito tiro ao estilo dos filmes de #JohnWoo Conta a estória onde a policia com Michael faz uma batida e acaba matando o filho de um grande mafioso. O mafioso então contra Chow que é um matador para vingar e matar o filho do policial. Mas na hora ele não executa. Então em vingança o mafioso agora esta atrás dele e do filho do Michael. Chow quer fugir para China para salvar sua família e contrata uma falsificadora de passaporte. Ai surge na estória Mira, que não tem nada a haver com estória, mas é envolvida pela máfia, e ela começa a afeiçoar por Chow. E ajuda ele a matar o chefão. Nisso ele contrata outros matadores, entre eles Danny. E chega ao final do filme com muito tiro, muita morte. E claro no final o mocinho vence. Vale apena assistir. Roteiro: Apesar do roteiro não trazer novidade, ele é bem feito. Oque faz da produção boa para assistir. Nota: 7 See more 04/23/2022 LOL, the best of now-English speaking Chow Yun-Fat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more 08/09/2021 I don't know what the hate is about, I love this as an action movie. I will admit as a soldier I think the two gun thing belongs in action movies and anime, because it is functional stupid, but it is part of the art in this movie. It is like any Chinese martial art movie (in this case pistol being the art), very stylized, but there is a beauty to it. There is more soul in this movie than you would think. It is not a western aesthetic, if you are looking for Clint Eastwood you will rate it low. If you were looking for Crouching Tiger hidden Beretta, you will be in love.

Pretty enjoyable action die-hard style even some part don't makes sense. See more Read all reviews
