Romeo Must Die
They've got the weapons. They've got the posses. And they've got no chance against former Hong Kong cop Han Sing. Gravity-warping martial arts, cool visual effects and an 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. Li plays rough-and-ready Han, who shares an attraction with Trish O'Day (screen-debuting songstress Aaliyah) even though 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. No gun, no posse? No problem. With Jet Li going to war as only he can, Romeo Must Die is alive and kicking.

Jet Li's in the zone. - movie_goer
I'm a HUGE fan of Jet li, and finally getting the chance to watch this film i'm glad i did there was funny moments. But in comparison to his other legendary work it only touch the tip of an ice burge. I know he could have done better. "Romeo Must Die" over compensating Martial art sequences when the film began to drift away, specially the beginning trying to find a common ground. For Aaliyah's first real budget film the chemistry between her and Li was ignited but sadily they never rolled with it ending flat with no sizzle.A rental, no more. - Ottawa_JP
The movie isn't bad or anything, but there just wasnt enough action for an action movie. Aaliyah looked great. The story was a little messed up, but that's kind of expected in these movies.
I only really have one pet peeve with this movie. There's a scene where he won't hit a girl, so he picks up Aaliyah and swings her around as his weapon. That was pretty stupid.
Also the title makes no sense.
Not horrible, not good. Just a renter.
