uh...im sorry but i have to disagree...Romeo was a *wack* movie and god knows I have much love and respect for jet li...fight scenes had no energy [all three of them] and there was just so much bullshit squeezed throughout the movie...put my ass to sleep...the concept was good but the soul wasnt there... (wow not a word about techno...who wants a piece?) -v
