Synopsis

Romeo Must Die (2000) — watch online on iFILM, a martial arts action film directed by Andrzej Bartkowiak, starring Jet Li and Aaliyah. Han Sing breaks out of a Hong Kong prison and flies to Oakland to track down his brother's killer. He lands straight in the middle of a turf war between a Chinese crime family and an African-American gang, both fighting over lucrative waterfront development rights.

Han crosses paths with Trish O'Day, daughter of the rival clan's boss, played by Delroy Lindo. Isaiah Washington is the lieutenant who has long been running his own game underneath the power structure. The deeper Han digs, the clearer it becomes that someone far more calculated is pulling strings behind both families.

Director Bartkowiak built the film around Jet Li's fight choreography, using X-ray cutaway shots during key combat sequences — a visual trick that became the movie's trademark. The soundtrack, produced by Timbaland, featured Aaliyah, who also starred in the film alongside Li. Stream Romeo Must Die (2000) in full online on iFILM.
