They've got the guns. They've got the posse. But they've got no chance when a street-fighting ex-cop (Jet Li) takes on both sides of a fierce Oakland turf war, involving "the wildest action scenes since The Matrix!" (Bill Bregoli, Westwood One).

Jet's best American film
Jun 6 2004
Format:DVD
Since coming to the US, Jet has been given a variety of akward roles. Romeo Must Die was probably his best film outside of China. The cast flowed smoothly together, and the story had a few twists.
Bad Story, but Jet Li
Jun 4 2004
Format:DVD
Why is it that movies with Kung Fu elements never really satisfy, except of course for the Matrix and Crouching Tiger. The authors of the story have tried to make a modern day Romeo and Juliet, in this case Asian Jet Li and black Aaliyah. This is all fair and well, but there is no real story to it. They come together, are good and survive in the end.
Thankfully there are some very good Kung Fu scenes by Jet Li which makes it fun. where Jackie Chan is more comedy, Jet Li is certainly art and well choreographed. The scene when he is playing football is a good one, the other is where he beats up some dudes with a hose.
With an hour and 50 minutes it's too long, so just skip to the fighting parts on the DVD.

The L.I.Y.A.H. & Jet Li?
Just one question that remained on my mind throughout this horrid film. Who decided that Aaliyah should be put with someone as old as Jet Li? Read more

Romeo must... i repeat, must... die
I have never really been a Jet Li fan. I think he's to one dimensional and he's always the though guy. Not only that, he uses wires in virtually all of his action sequences. Read more

The worst Jet Li movie, yet it's still good
Most of you are wondering why I give this 4 stars, yet I stated that it is Jet Li's worst movie. B/c Jet Li has never starred in a bad movie, But if I had to rate his American... Read more

Hip-hop meets kung fu in a wild mix of genres
I'm a big fan of Jet Li, but I held off watching Romeo Must Die for a while in fear that a strong romantic plot a la Shakespeare would take away from the martial arts action I... Read more

Watch The Transporter instead.
Funny enough, even though The Transporter doesn't feature the likes of Jet Li, Jackie Chan, or Donnie Yen in the lead role (the titular character is played by the delightfully cool... Read more
