    Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert

    (Li)'s scenes are so clearly computer-aided that his moves are about as impressive as Bugs Bunny doing the same.

    The New York Times A.O. Scott

    Sadly, if this movie was a fight, they'd have stopped it.

    USA Today Susan Wloszczyna

    A plodding, play-it-safe rendition of "The Family Feud."

    Entertainment Weekly Lisa Schwarzbaum

    Doesn't take advantage of its own possibilities, either as a hard-boiled gangland battle or as a soft-boiled, interracial Shakespearean love story.

    Los Angeles Times Kevin Thomas

    Has a great look and an edgy feel, along with some broad swaths of humor.

For Families provided by Common Sense Media

not for kids

This hip-hop Romeo and Juliet is awful.

What Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that this movie has very strong violence, some girl/girl kissing, drug use, and that it's really dumb (especially the ending, in which Han and Trish wander out of a house full of dead people, and the police completely ignore them).

  • Families can talk about racism and the way that children prove their independence, or maybe just how such bad movies get made.

What to watch for
