This movie uses the "Gang" element from West Side Story, but puts a little twist on it. Jet Li provided the great action for the martial arts fans, Aaliyah showed what she's got for the Hip-Hop fans, and even Anthony Anderson was good for the comedy element as a wannabe gangster in training. The bad guys also lived up to their finest with Isaiah Washington and Russell Wong doing the dirty work. Overall, a good action movie that even the more intellectual will delight in.
