| For a good ten years or so, super cool Chow Yun Fat has enjoyed god

| CAPSULE: Perversely entertaining Hong Kong action with the God of Gamblers
himself, Chow Yun-Fat. Mira Sorvino ain't bad either, but the main
attraction is the movie's glossy look. more |

| Chow Yun-Fat is a world renowned actor from Hong Kong, largely known for
his incredible work with John Woo. But, like all other things that are not
American, he's not known well here in the US. The Replacement Killers aims
to change that. But, can it? more |

| Have you noticed nowadays how many movie previews push the name of
the director almost as much the film's principal actors? "A film by Tony

| The Replacement Killers could have been a good, solid action movie.
It could have been a sleeper hit; a movie that decided to break a few

| I suppose there are different kinds of action films. Some action
films are straightforward, while, at the same time, they mock themselves
in self-consciousness because they know that action films are, by
definition, ludicrous. Films like Die Hard and...more |
