THE REPLACEMENT KILLERS


 A Sony Entertainment Television Series forthcoming highlight is The Replacement Killers which airs on the channel on April 17 at 20h00.

An American take on the classic Hong Kong-style action flick, this fast-paced thriller boasts fight scenes choreographed by legendary martial arts director, John Woo.

It stars Chow Yun-Fat (Bulletproof Monk, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) in his American acting debut as a disillusioned assassin whose conscience won’t allow him to carry out a particular contract. Naturally, this act of defiance places a huge red target on his back – and the hitman soon finds the tables turned, as a hit is put out on him.

Directed by Antoine Fuqua (1998), this fast-paced fun movie stars Oscar®-winner Mira Sorvino (Mighty Aphrodite, Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion).
