ROMEO MUST DIE
WARNER BROS
RELEASED 13 October 2000
Jet Li action-comedy loosely based on ‘Romeo and Juliet’, this time set in California. Li breaks out of prison in Hong Kong when he learns of his brother’s murder in the US and seeks vengeance leading to lots of chop-socky action with some Matrix-style moves thrown in for good measure. The jokes aren’t very funny but if you like martial arts then Jet Li does won’t disappoint you.
