The real star of this film, though, is director of photography Emanuel Lubezki. Now if only Ethan Hawke could be convinced to give up acting, writing, and looking pouty. Where executive producer John Woo's Hong Kong action films register triple-digit deaths with many thousands of bullets fired, this gringo homage, directed by Antoine Fuqua, manages a mere 32 fatalities, making Replacement Killers a marvel of understatement. The mighty Chow Yun-Fat, the perennial hero of Woo's best films, is sent to dispatch the cop's kid as payback. Hounded by Mr. Wei's backup assassins, he falls in with a gun-toting forger with a heart of gold, a character nicely played by Mira Sorvino's expressive underwear.
Some physicists theorize that there are countless universes in existence.
When I saw a matinee of Spice World , the audience was comprised of pre-pubescent girls and lone, adult males with raincoats draped across their laps. Even if you don't fall into one of these groups, you may want to check out Spice World just to see what all the hype is about. The Spice Girls are five British Barbie dolls who sing, sort of, and change their clothes a lot, definitely. This film calls into question the value of the very large brain and the opposable thumb possessed by our species. There are a few little obstacles to their love, but nothing serious, and a few little jokes thrown in, but nothing funny.
