Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

kxyang +) The fight scenes are great and Jet Li is pretty much the star of this movie. The guy has always been a great "martial artist" and his fights scenes are nice. People may be put off by the many uses of wires but Jet Li has always been about putting on entertaining fight scenes as opposed to more realistic fight scenes.+)Russel Wong is also very good and is a cool villain. He looks like an Asian James Bond in a way.+)Aaliyah is ok too, but the best actor in this movie is Isaiah Washing, Russel Wong,Delroy Lindo, Anthony Anderson, and Henry O+) Some of the comedy is very funny~ The story is very silly but at the same time they take it so serious. It is about two companies who are trying to buy all the land so that they can then sell it to this guy in Canada who will then turned it into a football field for the NFL.~The modern day "Romeo and Juliet" story is also very sillyGood movie to watch for the fight scenes. Don't expect any "Oscar" winning filming here. This is an action movie and it works.

ivo-cobra8 Romeo Must Die (2000) is Jet Li's first American action film that he made in America in a lead hero role and it is solid action flick! His whole entire film career Jet Li was always playing a good guy, until he come to America for the first time his film role was a bad guy in Lethal Weapon 4 (1998) right after success of the last installment in Lethal Weapon series he agreed to make this film and it worked. It was his first hero role, before he went to make The Expendables films. I grew up watching Romeo Must Die as a teen, that's how Jet Li become my favorite action star of all time. In this flick you have Anthony Anderson and Russell Wong from Vanishing Son. Aaliyah will be missed she did a good job on this movie. R.I.P Aaliyah (1979 - 2001). I seriously love this film and most people wouldn't agree with me, with taking this film as Jet Li's number 1 action film. It is my number 1 Jet Li film, I borrowed the VHS tape in summer 2001 just for seeing this film, till today I still love it and I own it on Blu-ray."Had to? My brother? , That... was a mistake!" Plot: International action-star Jet Li (Lethal Weapon 4) stars in this hi-octane thriller from the producer of blockbusters "The Matrix" and the "Lethal Weapon" franchise. While hunting down his brother's murderer, he falls in love with the daughter of a rival crime boss who is his prime suspect. A modern take on the classic "Romeo and Juliet" co-starring hip hop star Aaliyah Haughton (one of 1999 Teen People Magazine's "21 Hottest Stars Under 21"), Delroy Lindo ("Ransom," "The Cider House Rules"), Isaiah Washington ("Out of Sight") and rapper DMX.The basic plot about this film is about a murder and a blood feud between rival gangs, when Han Sing's (Jet Li) brother is murdered in Oakland, California, Han escapes from Hong Kong prison and he flees the country by coming to US, to investigate on his own, his brother's murder while facing off the same time with his estranged father. All leads lead to Trish O'Day (Aaliyah). Han shares an attraction with Trish O'Day (screen-debuting songstress Aaliyah) even tough their families are rivals in a fierce Oakland turf battle. The two also share plenty of danger as they try to find the real cause of the blood feud.This film has pretty much all action, gravity- warping martial arts, cool visual effects and all star music track combine in this revved-up action movie from producer Joel Silver (The Matrix) and starring Jet Li (Lethal Weapon 4) in his first English-language lead role.The action in this movie is really good and the acting is really decent from all actors. I love the theme song of the movie. Moving on, the story was okay not bad, but as the same time not fantastic. The pacing of the movie was smooth and stylish. The director really made a good job directing the movie, I still would stay Romeo Must Die is a lot better than Steven Seagal's Exit Wounds. There is a lot of martial arts in this film and betrayal. This was the first Jet Li film he made in America and it was none Chinese film. The fights between Jet Li and Russell Wong was incredible but I think the special effect was made just like was in The Matrix . I also love the script and Jet Li's lines the one that were really funny one's. In my honest opinion with Cradle 2 the Grave, Romeo Must Die is the most underrated Jet Li's American action film. I would say it is way better than Don Wilson's Bloodfist and even tough it is not a martial arts tournament film, it is still better and more enjoyable. You have Delroy Lindo in here from Broken Arrow and Gone in Sixty Seconds and Anthony Edwards who always makes me lough in the movies he is in it. The film is also filed with humor and it is visually stunning and exceptionally detailed and loud sound. The movie has several amazing action scenes and a few funny ones too. Jet Li & Delroy Lindo are both at their best.Overall: Romeo must die was sweet and entertaining I love this flick to death, I enjoy the song DMX - First I'm Gonna Crawl, gosh they aren't movies made like this one today. Jet Li's film get's a perfect 10 by me 10/10 still I think it is underrated action film.Romeo Must Die is a 2000 American action film directed by Andrzej Bartkowiak in his directorial debut, and also fight choreography by Corey Yuen, and starring Jet Li and Aaliyah.

adonis98-743-186503 An avenging cop seeks out his brother's killer and falls for the daughter of a businessman who is involved in a money-deal with his father. Romeo Must Die is a very entertaining action flick thanks to a very good performance by Jet Li and it's really disappointing that we don't see him in great movies anymore and even if we do it's for around 5 to 10 minutes for example The Expendables Trilogy now he is starring only in crappy Chineze movies anyways moving on the movie does have some over the top action but overall it has a lot great stunt work and fight scenes that will steal the show and some really good humor and it's a pretty good movie which is mostly remembered for Aaliyah since she died one year after this movie.

FlashCallahan The death of Han Sing's brother catapults him out of a Hong Kong jail to the San Francisco waterfront, where he vows to find his brother's killers. It lands him in the middle of a three way deal between "businessmen" who will stop at nothing to create a new money making stadium. Han finds help from Trish, a woman with close connections to the mob, and together they work to find their brothers' killers.....One thing that I really can't understand is that this movie was Li's big Hollywood breakout movie, and whilst it's not the worst action movie out there, the Director and star have made some astonishingly good movies since (and in Li's case, before) you really cannot believe that Hollywood gave them this vehicle, its a little disrespectful.And it's down purely to Joel Silver. Now this chap has produced some brilliant movies, he produced my favourite movie of all time, Die Hard. But after the phenomenal success of The Matrix, he became a sell out, and thought that this was what the people wanted.For an athlete like Li, its cringe inducing to see the wire work, it's really bad, and wreaks of Matrix cash in, and the inclusion of the Hip Hop soundtrack disrupts the flow of the narrative.But, it's not a bad film. Li is a brilliant screen presence, and Aaliyah shows that she could have been a huge star. The rest of the cast are good, but you just can't get that after taste of making a quick buck from The Matrix out of your head when watching this.
