I though it might have some 00’s nostalgia but it’s all the worst bits of the 00s . Don’t bother with this one Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/25 Full Review Alan S Laughably bad. Bad acting. Bad dialogue. It’s so bad it’s almost cultishly good. But not quite. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/25 Full Review Fabrícia F Uma disputa entre as máfias asiática e afro-americana de Nova York serve como pano de fundo para o enredo de amor dos protagonistas interpretados por Jet Li e Aaliyah (in memoriam). É uma abordagem ousada e diferente do famoso conto de Shakespeare sobre um amor impossível. Absolutamente crível e cheio de emoções que envolvem o telespectador, é um clássico cult que certamente vale a pena conferir.
