Starring: Jet Li, Aaliyah Houghton, Delroy Lindo, Isaiah Washington, Russell Wong
ROMEO MUST DIE is the story of fathers and sons, of the importance of blood, of star-crossed lovers willing to risk their lives for their love.
Two warring families, one Chinese, one African American, are fighting for control of the Oakland waterfront. It's an eye for an eye as members of each gang keep turning up dead--including the son of Ch'u Sing, the Chinese gang leader, which escalates the war to epic proportions. Into this fray comes Han Sing (Jet Li), Ch'u's other son, a cop who has escaped from a Hong Kong prison where he was serving time for not arresting his father and brother.
Han soon becomes a little too friendly with Trish O'Day (Aaliyah), the daughter of Isaak O'Day (Delroy Lindo), the leader of the African American gang. The growing romance between Han and Trish parallels the growing body count. ROMEO MUST DIE is a fast-paced, hip-hop retelling of the classic Shakespeare tale.
A thumping soundtrack and wicked special effects--including martial arts battles in which the fighters virtually fly through the air--add to the excitement. Jet Li and Aaliyah turn in fine performances laced with just the right amount of comedy. Director Andrzej Bartkowiak has a keen visual sense - he previously served as cinematographer on such films as THE DEVIL'S ADVOCATE, SPECIES, and SPEED - that pumps up such standard fare as car chases, prison breaks, and even a pickup football game.
The film includes an awesome special effect that reveals a person's skeleton as he dies - it has to be seen to be believed.
This powerful dvd is an ORIGINAL, GUARANTEED, NOT a
copy! I bought this dvd set and have watched it so it is used, but is in EXCELLENT condition.
Great opportunity to own
this powerful action movie on dvd!
