Romeo Must Die (2000)

Based on 27 critic reviews provided by

80	Los Angeles Times Kevin Thomas Has a great look and an edgy feel, along with some broad swaths of humor.
75	New York Daily News Jami Bernard This is not for the Merchant-Ivory crowd, but action fans will feel their pulses quicken.
70	Rolling Stone Peter Travers Who needs iambic pentameter when you have Jet Li around?
67	Entertainment Weekly Lisa Schwarzbaum Doesn't take advantage of its own possibilities, either as a hard-boiled gangland battle or as a soft-boiled, interracial Shakespearean love story.
63	USA Today Susan Wloszczyna A plodding, play-it-safe rendition of "The Family Feud."
63	Boston Globe Jay Carr The reason to sit through its uninspired, formulaic moves, however, is its half-dozen spectacular fight sequences.
50	The New York Times A.O. Scott Sadly, if this movie was a fight, they'd have stopped it.
50	San Francisco Chronicle Bob Graham Li is a phenomenon.
50	Washington Post Michael O'Sullivan Based on "Romeo and Juliet" the way a martini is "based" on vermouth.
38	Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert (Li)'s scenes are so clearly computer-aided that his moves are about as impressive as Bugs Bunny doing the same.
