"Romeo Must Die" is one film that I truly liked because it was not filled with 120 minutes of action, it actually had a story to it.
Jet Li seems like he never lost a step from his breakout American debut in "Lethal Weapon 4." I can't believe that he didn't come to America sooner because he is incredibly talented and excellent martial artist. Li is so good that he can perform with his eyes goods. As with Aaliyah, Jet Li is an actor who can act with little direction.
"Romeo Must Die" seemed to me to be an updated version of the romance between Romeo & Juliet. I thought it was not cliche because the writers added some new stuff and tweeked the rest just enough to make it very good. This film also works on other levels because it shows that Jet Li is a man to be reckoned with due to his versatilityas an actor.
Two newcomers who almost stole Jet Li's thunder are also two musicians. Aaliyah and DMX were so good I forgot they were relative newcomers because every piece of dialogue that flowed out seemed to be unrehearsed. I hope and wish these two stick with acting because they are destined to be great actors one day.
I was very impressed with "Romeo Must Die" because it is not a one dimensional action film, it has substance to support and balance the action. My congratulations to Li, Aaliyah and the rest of the cast for a job well done.
