The Replacement Killers is a good little movie that has been somewhat lost in the 90's action film shuffle. It has many characteristics of a John Woo feature and that has part to him Producing the film and Chow Yun-Fat as the lead. Director Antoine Fuqua shows that he can imitate the feel of an early Woo film while adding some interesting visual flair of his own. With a runtime just under 90 mins, a harmless plot about Hitmen and intrigue and some really good Hong Kong inspired action scenes, The Replacement Killers is a good little film that achieved what it set out to do and should be seen by anyone that has an interest in John Woo or mid to late Nineties action films such as Blade and The Matrix.
