Story Synopsis:
The Replacement Killers is a fierce action-thriller starring international boxoffice action hero Chow Yun-Fat as John Lee, a Chinese immigrant to America, who was unable to execute a deadly favor for druglord Terence Wei—and must now brave Wei’s vengeance for his betrayal. With the aid of a document forger (Mira Sorvino), who in helping him becomes a target herself, Lee races against time to outrun and outsmart Wei’s army of “replacement killers,” as well as try to prevent a tragic murder that strikes far too close to home.
