    I liked it, has little lasting value however but initially it was what I thought it was going to be. Jet Li needs to stay in Chinese.

    This is one of the better Jet Li movies, next to Kiss of the Dragon. Good action, decent story, fun time to watch.

    VERY loosely based on Romeo and Juliet, this film about warring families (blacks and chinese) still has a lot going for it.

    Jet Li -a serious and so hard to get in most of his film that keeps girls mesmerized.. A very sexy and charming Aaliyah made it.
