As an all-kicking, all-punching slugfest Romeo Must Die is almost in the "so bad it's good" category.

I found the film rather dubious in its approach to race.

Bartkowiak distinguished career as a cinematographer lends a great visual style thats perfect for this genre.
He gets to showcase the full range of his considerable talents here, sporting a boyish grin one second and delivering bone-crushing kicks the next.

In the making of documentary on Romeo Must Die, Russell Wong compares Jet Li with another great ballet dancer, Baryshnikov.
