Luc Besson wrote and directed the stylish thrillers La Femme Nikita and
The Professional; though he didnt direct Unleashed, the script has his
trademark fusion of outrageous sentimentality and over-the-top violence.
Hong Kong action superstar Jet Li (Romeo Must Die, Hero) stars as
Danny, a man raised to be a brutal attack dog by a nasty gangster named
Bart (Bob Hoskins, Mona Lisa)--when Bart removes Dannys collar, Danny
pulverizes everyone in the room. But a chance encounter with a blind
piano tuner (Morgan Freeman, Million Dollar Baby) reveals to Danny the
possibility of a less brutal life, and when a retaliation attack gives him the
chance to escape, he does--but Bart wont let him go that easily. The
fighting in Unleashed is effectively jolting; Li and figh t choreographer Yuen
Wo Ping (The Matrix) have purposefully stripped away the smoothness of
most movie combat (especially with a genuine martial artist like Li) with
raw, unnerving results, especially when juxtaposed with the sweet and
earnest scenes of Li regaining his humanity with Freeman and his step-
daughter (Kerry Condon). This freewheeling cocktail of bloody noses and
ice-cream cones isnt for everyone, but fans of both Besson and Li will
leave satisfied. --Bret Fetzer
I was very impressed by Jet Li's acting; I never realized he was a great
actor, not just an action actor. Easily his best work. Morgan Freeman had a
small yet very important role and he was amazing. I found the plot to be
pretty good also. Definitely must watch movie.
