Synopsis

Violent take on “Romeo and Juliet” centering on the love affair between a Chinese escaped prisoner (Jet Li) and the daughter of the head of a black crime syndicate. The action packs a punch, but the script is packed with clichés. Pop star Aaliyah (1979-2001) costars and performs four songs on the soundtrack. Isaiah Washington. Andrzej Bartkowiak directed.
