When a Chinese gang lord's son is murdered in Oakland, his brother, Han, breaks out of a Hong Kong prison to find out how it happened and to avenge his death. He arrives on controlled turf, a waterfront run by the rival gang-lords Ch'u Sing (Han's father) and Isaak O'Day, and their respective Chinese and African-American crime organizations. When it is clear that something bigger is involved, Han teams up with O'Day's daughter Trish to continue the hunt for justice. An avenging cop seeks out his brother's killer and falls for the daughter of a businessman who is involved in a money-deal with his father. 'Romeo' is the Chinaman who comes to America and hangs about with the black Alaya (or however you spell it). He is not an actual Romeo or seeking a RELATIONSHIP with her outside of them helping each other - him to avenge his dead brother and her to distance herself from his father's crimes. It's like the 'Hey Romeo stay away from our girl' thing, not 'Oh Romeo where for art thou my lovy dovy bubesey tubesey'.<br/><br/>The plot is you got 'the man (whitey corporate)' who is trying to leverage a waterfront by proxy with warring Chinese and black organized criminals to build a new stadium. The man don't care who gets jack, just get the jack - Mack :P<br/><br/>This is actually a surprisingly good movie. One because it does not pretend that Alaya and the kung fu dude are hot for each other - just becoming friends trying to help each other, in a jam so to speak. And second, because it is very 'real' in it's 'feel'. It is something hard to describe. I have lived in the bay area, and much of this movie (I think all of it) was shot there - as was much of 'Undercover Brother'. It has the feel of real California businessmen and guys trying to get ahead, and the things they say are actually not far off base - that is how they talk here. I like also how they play football instead of just shooting the guy - a refreshing touch. But most of all I like Alaya as an actress. She has genuine personality and you can feel a sweetness there I do not see from most actresses. She is dead now, but I bet she was a decent human being - unlike most of the shallow types you meet here. I dunno - if you watch the movie you will see it - she has a knack for coming off like a real person, more so than many of the more 'seasoned' (if you want to give them as much credit) actors in the film.<br/><br/>It's a good movie. See it NOW! :o) The legacy of the late Bruce Lee has been waiting an heir for many years. In the opinion of many in the movie business, including those in the martial Arts industry, that individual is Jet Li. In this story written by Mitchell Kapner and aptly directed by Andrzei Bartkowiak can trace itself to Shakespearean times. Thus it's called " Romeo Must Die. " In it we discover that a trio of powerful gangs has decided to conspire together to purchase a segment of dilapidate land and build a NFL Football stadium. Within this multi-million dollar venture, suspicions arise and culminates in a murder. The character brother of Jet Li has been removed and all three gangs deny any involvement. Thus it becomes the murdered man's brother Han Sing (Jet Li) who is locked away in a Chinese prison, to escape and go to America. Once there, he seeks out his family and the leaders of the three gangs to learn who killed his brother. However, when he arrives in America, Sing is lovingly captured by beauty Trish O'Day (Aaliyah) and discovers that the gang leaders each have their own reason for the murder. With the superior cast of actors, the movie gravitates towards dark drama, excitement and a flurry of Martial Arts action. These include Isaiah Washington, Russell Wong and versatile Delroy Lindo. It is the incredible action scenes which give this film it's highly charged entertainment atmosphere which is kept on high speed throughout the story. Jet Li and his opponents offer the audience an exciting run for it's money and one which is sure to establish first and foremost, that he is indeed a worthy candidate to fill the shoes of the great Bruce Lee. Easily recommended. **** In fact, when not kicking butt, (Li)'s kind of a blank spot in the center of the screen. Several action scenes were censored for the British BBFC 15 version: fighting scenes and shootouts. a5c7b9f00b Bros Being Jocks movie free download hdRansom movie downloadSpeed to Burn movie in hindi dubbed downloadPierce full movie in hindi free downloadhindi Puzzle Negro free downloadBananazuka full movie hd 720p free downloadTheft by Deception download movie free2 movie download hdEternity full movie with english subtitles online downloadDownload the Cold War full movie tamil dubbed in torrent
