"Let us make no mistake, Jet Li is in top form. Even those who care little for martial arts will watch in awe as he jumps, kicks, and flips with a quick and flawless grace of a dancer." more... |

(4 out of 10) "Three words: not enough action! Simple enough?" more... |

(C+) "It's clear, from his first scenes in 'Romeo Must Die,' that Li has what it takes to be a star; he magnetizes each moment with his subversive presence." more... |
