TRIPLE DIPPING DVD

A sharp-eyed reader pointed out that on April 25, Sony will release an extended cut of the Chow Yun-fat/Mira Sorvino movie, THE REPLACEMENT KILLERS. I think I can say without fear of contradiction that this is something no one cares about.

The movie was notable only because it was Chow Yun-fat's first US movie, director Antoine Fuqua went on to make TRAINING DAY and Mira Sorvino went on to be a sheriff's deputy. Apart from that this is a big slab of digital blah. I never heard anyone  complain that the movie felt too short, but Sony has added 11 minutes of footage to it for this edition. I'd say "wow!" if "wow!" really meant "who cares!"

If I'm counting correctly this is the third REPLACEMENT KILLERS DVD out there: a regular edition, a special edition and now this director's cut. Wow! Not just double dipping, but triple dipping.
