Serve no master.
Written and produced by Luc Besson, and directed by Louis Leterrier, Unleashed features a fantastic performance from martial arts superstar, Jet Li.
On and beneath the mean streets of Glasgow, fiery gangster Bart (Hoskins) is merciless with debtors, would-be rivals and anyone else he takes a passing dislike to. Bart maintains his stranglehold through his unwitting enforcer, Danny (Jet Li), who he has 'raised' since boyhood. Danny has been kept as a near-prisoner: trained to attack and if necessary, kill. Danny knows little of life, except the brutal existence that Bart has so cruelly fashioned for him. However, when Danny has a chance encounter with the sightless piano tuner, Sam (Morgan Freeman), he senses true kindness and compassion for the first time and experiences the transforming power of music.
When a sudden gangland coup separates Danny from Bart and the gang, Danny escapes the underworld. Taking refuge with Sam and his stepdaughter, Victoria (Kerry Condon), Danny finds a family of sorts and a future... However, the mob will not give up their prize asset so easily, and Danny must soon call upon his skills once more to protect his family and bury his past.

This is without doubt one of Jet-li's best ever movies. An unusual but brilliant story full to the top with extraodinary fighting scenes and brutal bone crunching violence. there are so many cool bloody scenes in this movie and Jet-li shows off some real skill and inflicts some serious pain. Well worth the price a must buy if you love a fantastic action movie. Good supporting cast too.
Not really a fan of Martial Arts action films, but this was highly recommended by a friend.
Enjoyed the movie, didnt think it was Amazing, like Hero or House of Flying Daggers.
But did like the story, as it wasnt run of the mill. It was quite different and engaging.
The action sequences were Gritty, Brutal and Well Executed
The cast is very eclectic, Jet Li gives a fantastic performance in the Acting Stakes and is obviously brilliant in the Action Sequences. Bob Hoskins is terrifying and Morgan Freeman pitches in with a standard wise man performance.
The location of Glasgow, makes a big impact as it is not normally the setting for this type of movie and cat. So well done there.
Anyway pretty good movie, catch it when you can
Jet Li's best acting by far. set in an 'apparent' Glasgow, young danny has been raised as a kid to fight, stupidly some other reviewers have criticized the lack of panoramic overshots but this is blatantly the directors way of enclosing the viewers vision giving them a deeper insight into the restricted, enslaved world of danny. when he finds freedom and experiences happiness for the first time you will be guaranteed to be moved and danny's pain is surprisingly well felt from jet-li's rare acting skills.
a must own and deffinatly see!!
