" Chow Yung Fat, plays John Lee a disillusioned professional killer sent to kill a cop who is responsible for a the death of a Triad member, however he has a family, and as such can’t complete the job. There are those who can, and with the help of a passport forger, Meg, played by Mira Sorvino, they must stop the hit from happening. Meant to be Yung Fat’s introduction to America and filmgoers it didn’t go over nearly as well, witn critics feeling it was ok, but not nearly enough, and film"

A Complete Review of Antoine Fuqua's work (16 movies items)

" Cast : Chow Yun-Fat, Mira Sorvino, Michael Rooker, Jürgen Prochnow, Til Schweiger, Danny Trejo, Clifton Collins Jr. What was it about? A troubled hitman seeks aid from a forger to help him get papers to China. However, the drug lord has hired replacements to finish the job, and kill the hitman. My two cents: Nowadays, Antoine Fuqua has built up a decent career and this movie was his directing debut. The other intriguing element is that this movie was also Chow Yun-Fat’s debut in America"
