1) DVD DVD Romeo Must Die by Warner Home Video. My nephew is a Jey Li fan, left up to him he would have all of Jet Li movies on dvd.¤ 2) DVD DVD Romeo Must Die by Warner Home Video. I purchased this movie only because I´m an admirer of Jet Li´s ability to incorporate his martial arts skills into any genre of movie. There were some comical points in the movie but overall the plot was weak.¤ 3) DVD DVD Romeo Must Die by Warner Home Video. Nothing spectacular to add, just that the movie is fun to watch... especially Jet Li´s fight scenes. Also a tribute to Aaliya - she showed promise. Plot was pretty tried and true - acting average to good. Fight scenes, not overly realistic but lots of fun!
If you missed out on this movie somehow... I recommend!
All the best,
Jay¤ 4) DVD DVD Romeo Must Die by Warner Home Video. As an Aaliyah FAN (1979-2001), ROMEO MUST DIE was an stepping stone for Miss. Aaliyah.. GOOD MOVIE¤ 5) DVD DVD Romeo Must Die by Warner Home Video. This is one Jet Li movie I believe could´ve been better if Li was the villian and Russell Wong was the lead!
Try as they will, Jet and Aaliyah did not have the chemistry to pull off a believable romance, not too mention, they didn´t even look good together. Handsome Russell Wong, on the otherhand, could´ve easily pulled off a realistic romance with the beautiful Aaliyah.(RIP)¤ 6) DVD DVD Romeo Must Die by Warner Home Video. They´ve got the guns.

¤7) DVD DVD Romeo Must Die by Warner Home Video. Cinematographer Andrzej Bartkowiak, the cameraman behind Speed, Lethal Weapon 4, and The Devil´s Advocate, makes his directorial debut with a lively but by-the-numbers film that mixes Hong Kong action pyrotechnics with gritty urban gang drama. Jet Li stars as a jailed cop named Han who hightails it to Oakland, California, to seek revenge for the gang-related murder of his brother. What he finds, though, is a fierce war between his father´s syndicate and that of Isaak O´Day (Delroy Lindo) for control of the city´s precious waterfront land, as both groups are trying to make a deal with a corrupt football-team owner to build a new stadium. The political shenanigans are basically just a backdrop for the kick-ass action, and to give Li a number of enemies to lock limbs with. It also provides him with a love interest, Trish (hip-hop star Aaliyah), who´s O´Day´s daughter and like Han, the only straight arrow in a family of crooked mobsters. Li and Aaliyah have a teasing, gentle chemistry, and when they´re onscreen together, the movie lights up and glides along smoothly. Li even finds a way to work Aaliyah into one of his action set pieces, using her arms and legs to fight a female adversary because "I can´t hit a girl!" However, when these two aren´t onscreen (and that´s a fair amount of the time) the movie plods along, despite a stately turn by Lindo and Isaiah Washington and Russell Wong as two family allies who may not be as loyal as they seem. Li´s action, though, is still phenomenal as ever, from his prison breakout (as he takes out a platoon of guards--strung upside down by one leg) to a knockdown-dragout fight with the agile and dangerously sexy Wong. And despite the Romeo and Juliet overtones, this is one mighty chaste romance, albeit one with a happy ending for the star-crossed lovers. --Mark Englehart¤ Page Updated: Robert N.
