Unleashed (2005)
On and beneath the meanest streets of Glasgow, fiery gangster Bart is merciless with debtors, would-be rivals, and anyone else to whom he takes even a passing dislike. How does Bart maintain his chokehold? Through his unwitting enforcer Danny (Jet Li), who he has "raised" since boyhood. Danny has been kept as a near-prisoner by his "Uncle" Bart; trained to attack and, if necessary, kill. Danny knows little of life, except the brutal existence that Bart has so crudely and cruelly fashioned for him. But when Danny has a chance encounter with soft-spoken blind piano tuner Sam, he senses true kindness and compassion for the first time and experiences the transforming power of music. (read more)

“Unleashed”, starring Jet Li, provides the martial arts star with an interesting role in a film produced by Luc Besson (“Leon”, “La Femme Nikita”). Besson’s involvement brings the quality of the film up a couple of notches but also ensures that the story will be more than a little strange.

In Glasgow, Danny (Jet Li) is a young specialist in martial arts raised like a dog by his owner, the gangster and collector Bart (Bob Hoskins). When Bart unleashes his collar, Danny behaves like a savage animal, hurting and killing people as commanded by Bart. After an accident, the wounded Danny is lodged by the blind...

I am biased; I will freely admit it. I am a Jet Li fan, not because of the martial art, but because I have seen potential in him since Romeo Must Die, where he played a great role with Aaliyah.
The French title "Danny the Dog" aptly describes the violence in the film. He is a trained attack dog that his cruel owner sics...

"Unleashed". What a great movie. Jet Li finally gets the kind of movie he deserves, and it only took him 42 years to get there. Imagine, an action film that is intelligent, well acted and still snap you spine violent. It was written by Luc Besson, the guy who gave us "Leon: The Professional" and "La Femme Nikita", among...
