Back To Index Romeo Must Die
 Barnes & Noble Jet Li makes his bid for Hollywood stardom in Romeo Must Die, a contemporary take on Shakespeares classic romance spiced up with vivid martial-arts sequences. The Bards oft-filmed play is retooled to make Li a disgraced Hong Kong cop who journeys to America to avenge the death of his brother, apparently murdered at the behest of corrupt developer Delroy Lindo. Lis father is a crime boss, too; and while his organization is involved with Lindos in a complicated land grab, the murder ticks him off. The Montague-Capulet connection is completed when Li, of course, falls in love with Lindos daughter (well played by recording artist Aaliyah in her film debut). Director Andrzej Bartkowiak, assisted by longtime Li collaborator Corey Yuen, gives his star free rein in numerous, intricately staged fight routines, while at the same time carefully developing the romance between Li and Aaliyah. Slick, fast, and exciting, Romeo Must Die is a welcome addition to its stars impressive canon. Ed Hulse Interested in the song lyrics? - Check out themostlyrics.com!
