8/10
Romeo Must Die (2000)
29 March 2004
Romeo Must Die is an action / drama that centers on a street war between two crime families, the Chinese and the Blacks. Both are in cahoots to gain waterfront property that is to be used to house a new NFL franchise coming to the area. During this street war, two members of the respective families develop a "Romeo & Juliette" type relationship that strains the relationship of the already estranged groups. Performances by the late Aalyiah and Issaiah Washington are not to be missed. The action sequences are a little too Hollywood for my tastes but they are enjoyable nonetheless. A pretty good story and a powerful soundtrack drive this movie beyond mediocrity. This is a decent film to have in your collection as it has made it's way into mine. I rated it an 8/10.

Peace and enjoy
