Unleashed

Here's Jet Li in his latest film, written by Luc Besson - who also worked on Kiss of the Dragon - and directed by Louis Leterrier. This movie was a bit different from Jet Li's previous in that he actually does a little acting in here. I also talking to Mike and he was telling me that Jet Li is trying to better diversify his acting in not just being the guy that walks in, beats people up, and walks out. This was very evident when his character announced, "I don't want to hurt people anymore". Maybe some of the audience were just as shocked as his "uncle". It was quite interesting the impact the collar had in this movie. There wasn't anything actually controlling about it - the effect was just psychological. In fact throughout the movie, whenever Bart would get mad at Danny, Bart would yell and threaten, but never actually do anything. Towards the end it was very apparent when Bart removed his own "collar" before he flips out himself. If you're not into anything violent, this probably isn't a movie for you. If you're into Jet Li's previous stuff and enjoy kung fu/martial arts movies/people getting beat up, or watching Morgan Freeman on the silver screen, you'll probably enjoy this one.
