Unleashed
Director: Louis Leterrier
Starring: Jet Li, Morgan Freeman,Bob Hoskins, Kerry Condon, Vincent Regan
Bounding out of the gate like a greyhound, Unleashed needs only its first 30 seconds or so to elevate itself well above the average action potboiler.
Ingenious in its construction.
When Danny takes off his collar for the last time, Besson's plan becomes clear: You may have paid for an hour and a half of escapist entertainment, but he just provided something much better.
An action picture with the emotional simplicity of a bedtime story, painted in the grimy colors of the London underworld.
Li is action poetry in motion. Damn them for spoiling our popcorn fun with salty tear-jerking.
