movie review - Replacement Killers

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 1998.02.06

Awful. I was ready to walk out after 45 minutes. Don't waste your time on this. Yu might be lured by the excellent cast. or the name of the director, but it doesn't work. The characters are all barely one-dimensional and everything in the movie seems to happen so that it can be seen to dramatically happen, not to tell a story.

Avoid.
