Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

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.

SnoopyStyle Asian gang leader's son Po Sing is killed which could potential start a war with the black gang. Mac (Isaiah Washington) is gang leader Isaak O'Day (Delroy Lindo) second-in-command. Maurice (Anthony Anderson) is guarding Trish O'Day (Aaliyah). Han (Jet Li) learns of the news and escapes from Hong Kong prison. He arrives in Oakland stealing a cab and Trish just happens to catch his ride. Han investigates and finds a murky land deal.This has a potentially good idea. Both Jet Li and Aaliyah show some acting skills but they don't have romantic chemistry together. There is no real heat in the relationship. Also shouldn't Han be called Romeo? It would make life so much easier. The story is even more complicated than Shakespeare. The Vancouver locations lack a certain edge. Jet Li and his friends get in some good action. Actually, this movie may have worked better if it gives up on the Romeo and Juliet romance. It should make Trish an equal partner in the investigation.

Python Hyena Romeo Must Die (2000): Dir: Andizej Bartkowiak / Cast: Jet Li, Aaliyah, Delroy Lindo, Isaiah Washington, DMX: We know from the title that Romeo must die for something. It could be an unpaid parking ticket, farting in an elevator full of strangers, or dumping his trash in someone else's yard. Unfortunately it regards none of those things because that might render the film somewhat interesting. Or at any rate, better than it is now. It regards a territory war between the blacks and Japanese. Jet Li enters when his younger brother is killed. After serving time in prison for someone else's decision he breaks out and searches for answers. After a series of double-crosses he befriends a young black woman whose father is buying off land. Directing by Andrzej Bartkowiak is fast with Li kicking ass about every five seconds. Aaliyah has promise but a broader role would have served her more justice. She is more or less the female contact, not necessarily romantically, but cardboard nonetheless. Delroy Lindo tries to keep the peace but when violence rules a screenplay then that is a near impossible task. Isaiah Washington is also featured but not to the superb degree that he had in Clint Eastwood's True Crime. Finally we have DMX in yet another role in this film that doesn't equal a good career move. The result here is an agonizing action farce that should die. Score: 2 / 10

callanvass (Credit to IMDb) 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.I'm fully convinced that Jet Li & Jackie Chan's talents were wasted in America! They had no idea how to properly use them, and this film is proof of that in my opinion. I'm all for some great drama in an action movie, but the storyline is awfully clunky & heavy-handed. There are some decent action scenes for sure, but it forgets one main ingredient...fun! This movie suffers from the same problems that Exit Wounds suffered from! (Even with some of the same cast from that film) Andrzej Bartkowiak tries to make this film hip, funny, and action-packed with poignant drama. He doesn't have the skill to pull this off, and the cast certainly doesn't help. There is plenty of cringe-worthy dialog that is supposed to come across as cool, but ultimately fails. The family drama wears thin on you quickly as well.. As I said...there are some good fight scenes. That doesn't mean they are without issues though. For some reason, Jet uses wires in certain fight scenes! Why? He has so much natural ability. He uses that natural ability in many of them, but the wires were a bit of a buzz kill. I also got annoyed at the X-Ray of bones breaking. I didn't need to see that! It was pointless and ruined a lot of the impact for me. I will give this movie credit for something. I've never seen anyone kick somebody's ass like Jet Li did, while being hung upside down and hand-cuffed. That was rather creative. The acting isn't great. Jet tries his hardest, but is let down by the mediocre material. Listening to Jet use the word "Brother" was amusing at first, but the novelty wore off eventually. His chemistry with Aaliyah was awkward and unconvincing. I didn't buy their relationship. His best fight scene is the prison escape. Aaliyah is certainly beautiful and doesn't embarrass herself....i'll say that. She handled her part adequately, but she was out of her element when it came to being emotional. Delroy Lindo is on auto- pilot! He seems to be going through the motions in a big way. His son dies and all he can say is "They killed my boy!" with half-assed emotion. Anthony Anderson plays the unfunny comedic relief as usual! Nothing more to say about him. DMX is barely in this movie! Thank god for that. Isaiah Washington is OK in his role. This was one of Jet's misfires that he made in the states! He isn't used to the best of his ability by a long shot. Boring story, decent, but underwhelming fight scenes, and unlikable characters sink this one. I can only recommend this to Jet's die-hard fans. (Chances are, you've already seen it)4.8/10
