| Description: | 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. | Comments: | "Romeo Must Die" suffers from two basic problems. One, it doesn't have a good story to tell. The riff on Romeo and Juliet, updated so that the feud is between Chinese and African-American crime families, sounds promising. But in reality, the only resemblance of this movie to the Shakespeare play is the name. Problem two is that there is no chemistry between Aaliyah and Jet Li. As the star-crossed lovers, you'd expect there to be plenty of sizzle, but here, nothing. The action is ok, but doesn't help move the plot along, as little of a plot as there is. All of this makes for a very average movie. Rent a Jackie Chan flick instead. | Languages: | English | Subtitles: | Length: | 224 | Video format: | DivX 3.11 Low Motion | Audio format: | MPEG Layer 3 (MP3) | Resolution: | 640x304 | Files sizes: | 684 |
