Replacement Killers

Pros: Chow Yun Fat, Stunts
Cons: Script, predictable

The Replacement Killers She's red meat. Let's put her on the hook and see what the dogs do. Detective Zedkov The Replacement Killers looks very much like a tribute to Hong Kong action director John Woo, who incidentally served as ...

Pros: Chow Yun-Fat, very intense, a John Woo film, great action, superb score and music
Cons: low on plot, not the greatest dialogue

The Replacement Killers has been one of my guilty pleasures for quite a while when it comes to action films. It probably has to do with a mixture of reasons, starting probably with action star Chow Yun-Fat, and ending with the great direction of ...

Pros: Chow Yun Fat, Sorvino, "Gritty"?, poetic, devastating
Cons: Violence and more violence

I can see we need to start out this review with a definition. "Gritty". Sounds great but what does it mean? The characters need a bath. Yes there is that. Grit, meaning "True grit" implying stamina or courage or some other AMERICAN APPLE PIE adjective?...

Pros: Lot of bullets, lots of guns, good action, things explode.
Cons: Average. Everything is average. Nothing is outstanding.

This move is what I would call a text-book three-star movie. It isn’t anything awesome, but simultaneously it isn’t awful, either. It’s got decent acting, decent action, and decent humor. It doesn’t excel in any area, but it doesn’t disappoint, either. ...

Pros: Action! Fat! Woo!
Cons: not alot of naked chicks...err, I mean it's a little predictable, yah....predictable. Ahem.

Clint Eastwood. Bruce Willis, with and without hair. Stallone, before he opens his mouth. Action heroes that set standards for um, guy films.

Enter the Fat.

Chow Yun-Fat is well known among Hong Kong movie buffs; star of such...

Pros: wild action scenes keep this movie moving
Cons: a little weak in the plot area

The Replacement Killers marked the American debut of Hong Kong action legend Chow Yun-Fat. Now I haven't seen many Hong Kong action movies, so I'm really taking that from the box, but trust me, Chow helps make this a great action movie.

The...

Pros: Chow's charisma; stylish action.
Cons: A very thin storyline; only hints at the depth of Chow's talent.

Hong Kong action star Chow Yun-Fat is a living legend, and it's about time that mainstream America found out. The ever-charismatic Chow will certainly have no trouble winning new fans with his English language debut, Antoine Fuqua's brisk, explosive...

Pros: story, the action....etc
Cons: little short...

Pros: Lots of action; Americanized introduction to Hong Kong cinema
Cons: Doesn't break any new ground

"The Replacement Killers" is the long-awaited debut of Hong Kong action star Chow-Yun Fat in an American film. CYF is best known for starring in many of director John Woo's classic Hong Kong action-dramas, such as "The Killer,"...

Pros: Action scenes are good. Chow Yun Fat is helluva cool.
Cons: Plot, characters, script, direction.... don't bother.

In Hong Kong action mythology, Chow Yun Fat is pretty much Zeus, the big daddy of them all. The slow-motion shot where he removes a pair of sunglasses; jumping around with two .45's; wearing dark suits. No-one has ever looked cooler on film.
...

Pros: Stylish, awesome opening sequence.
Cons: Pacing is all off; mediocre story.

This is a movie I wanted to enjoy -- a lot -- to the point that with some effort, i actually did enjoy it. I am of the opinion, however, that something like that shouldn't be an act of will.

Antoine Fuqua was the director of Coolio's...

Pros: Stylish, fun, action-packed.
Cons: Simple plot. Too simple.

THE REPLACEMENT KILLERS: Action. Immensely popular Hong Kong action star Chow Yun-Fat makes his American debut as John Lee in this stylish, fun and action-packed film by producer John Woo and first-time director Antoine Fuqua. Chinese crime lord, Mr....

Pros: Non-stop action, lot's of stuff blowing up.
Cons: None I can think of.

Yes, I know the spelling is 'ciao', so don't write me to correct me. :-) This movie just plain rocks! Chow Yun Fat is a professional assassin who is being used by a Chinese gangster to kill his 'enemies'. He doesn't want to be working for this man,...

Pros: Chow Yun Fat, Mira Sorvino, John Woo
Cons: Weak Plot

The Replacement Killers is the well touted American film debut of Japanese action film legend Chow Yun Fat, who's previously John Woo directed flicks included Hard Boiled, and the highly acclaimed The Killer. Chow Yun Fat's signature two fisted .45...

Pros: Talented cast, amazing gunfighting scenes and excellent directing.
Cons: A sequel has yet to be made.

In Asia he is legend and in America she is a heartstopper. Combine the two and you have created one of the best action flicks of all time! The plot is criticized by many, obviously they have not seen other films with Chow Yun Fat. The plot is not...
