This film might be the ultimate temp job, but stars Chow Yin-Fat and Mira Sorvino deserve better work.

| Original Score: C- | Jan 19, 2023

It isn't boring, but it could have amounted to a lot more, particularly as the final showdown is thrillingly chaotic and brutal.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Jun 28, 2021

As for the plot here, let's just say it has something to do with hit men, drug lords and revenge, and leave it at that.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jun 9, 2020

People with particularly indiscriminate taste in action cinema will enjoy The Replacement Killers on its own merits, and Chow and Sorvino fans will take away some enjoyment from watching them perform together

| Original Score: 6/10 | Apr 8, 2020

...it's ultimately impossible not to wonder what Chow, making his English-language debut here, was thinking when he signed up for the project.

| Original Score: C | Sep 7, 2011

The John Woo school of the ballet of bullets gets a full dose of Sam Peckinpah under the steady hand of director Antoine Fuqua's finely framed tale of revenge.

| Original Score: B | May 19, 2009

An unworthy vehicle for a great star like Chow Yun-fat.

The Replacement Killers is not a very good film, but it is impossible to deny that it has a certain beauty.

Will serve as a suitable replacement when [Chow Yun Fat's] better films are already rented out for the weekend.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 19, 2003

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Dec 8, 2002

Style over substance all the way, but at least it's not boring.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 27, 2002

The most dispiriting thing about The Replacement Killers is that it proves Chow [Yun-Fat]'s charisma repressible.
