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.
DVD Picture:
The picture delivers outstanding imagery on both the Sony HD-sourced LaserDisc and DVD, especially the component anamorphic DVD. Color fidelity is excellent on both versions, with warmly hued colors, natural fleshtones and deep, solid blacks. Shadow detail and contrast are superb, but better delineated on the DVD. Images are incredibly sharp and detailed, with naturally rendered textures on the DVD, due to the added real lines created by the anamorphic process. The LaserDisc, and letterbox and anamorphic DVD aspect ratios are measured at 2.35:1.
Soundtrack:
The Dolby® Digital discrete 5.1 soundtrack on the DVD and LaserDisc delivers a fantastic spatially dimensional soundfield that the LaserDisc’s matrix PCM, though exemplary, just can’t match. This is evident particularly with respect to aggressive split surround delineation and .1 LFE 25Hz deep bass and power. Dialogue sounds natural throughout, often with excellent spatial integration. The music score is dynamic and quite dimensional, especially in the discrete which is spread wide and deep across the soundstage and wraps into the surrounds. This is truly a soundtrack of reference quality.
