Leave your thoughts about The Replacement Killers.
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonAn unworthy vehicle for a great star like Chow Yun-fat. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertIt'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. |
| AboutFilm.comCarlo CavagnaOne cannot accuse Killers of possessing a kernel of intelligence, but it's still a stylish action film. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsFrank OchiengA fair action thriller is offered here but what a difference this movie would make from merely being fair to that of being a fist-full-of-frenzied fun. A mild recommendation at best. |
| Dallas ObserverAndy KleinFuqua has done an admirable job staging the action scenes, but the script is little more than a thin framework to justify those scenes. |
| DVD ClinicScott WeinbergStyle over substance all the way, but at least it's not boring. |
| eFilmCritic.comBrian MckayWill serve as a suitable replacement when [Chow Yun Fat's] better films are already rented out for the weekend. |
| ColeSmithey.comCole SmitheyThe 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. |
| EmpireAngie ErrigoIt's just like a spectacularly excessive and melodramatically daft Cantonese crime opus, but in English, with a thumpingly trendy soundtrack. |
| TV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonaghThis melodramatic action opera is a lurid love letter to the guns and poses aesthetic of Hong Kong action cinema. |
