victimized by his betrayal. But Wei’s army of “replacement killers” is
hot on his trail, and now both he and Meg are targets of their
impressive firepower. With both sides fully armed and determined to
fight to the death, an ultra-violent shoot-out breaks out when they
finally face off against each other.

are the features for the new DVD. In addition to the film proper, the
DVD contains and audio commentary by director Antoine
Fuqua the HBO featurette “Where the Action Is”, an
