Of course, the murder of Han s brother complicates matters, with both sides preparing for retaliation. Like Romeo and Juliet, both families try to keep Han and Trish apart, but the two of them are determined to be together, if only to find the killer. While all of the action is high octane, there are a couple of slow patches in the film that will leave viewers fidgeting. Both Jet Li and Aaliyah are very good in their roles, so they can t be faulted for a weak script that doesn t give them enough opportunities to shine. MUST DIE also features Isaiah Washington, Russell Wong, DMX, D.B. Woodside, Henry O, Edoardo Ballerini, Jon Kit Lee and Anthony Anderson.
