Synopsis
John Lee is the best hitman money can buy. But when John refuses to kill because of the seven year-old son of his target, John's bosses send someone after John to kill him and then take his place in the ring of hitmen. John then teams up with Meg Coburn to help him escape these "Replacement Killers."
Critics' reviews
- "It's a high-gloss version of a Hong Kong action picture, made in America but observing the exuberance of a genre where surfaces are everything"
- "In the more anonymous American setting, and without the mad conviction of a director like John Woo, all the choreographed murder feels dull, poorly paced, and, come to think of it, pretty demented."
- "Despite the practical nature of the costars' bond, I spent most of the lukewarm actioner wondering when the hell they were going to start kissing"
- "It's just like a spectacularly excessive and melodramatically daft Cantonese crime opus, but in English"
