When professional hit man John Lee (Yun-Fat) defies the orders of Mr. Wei, a ruthless Chinese drug lord, he knows not only is his own life at stake, but also the lives of his family back in China. Desperate to get home, but in need of a passport, Lee enlists the help of Meg Coburn (Oscar-winner Sorvino; 1995, Best Supporting Actress, MIGHTY APHRODITE), a beautiful document forger who helps Lee fend off waves of Wei's "replacement killers" -- hired guns who will stop at nothing to see Lee dead. When the two warring sides face off in a climactic, ultra-violent showdown, it's a battle to the death that's guaranteed to blow you away.
"[Yun Fat]'s got the distilled energy of Eastwood, the majestic cool of Mit chum and the suave good looks of Cary Grant." -- Edward Guthmann, SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
