Unleashed
Early Unleashed Review
'Jeff Miny,' from Luxembourg, was kind enough to send an early review to
Joblo on the film Unleashed. Here are a few snippets of what he has to say:
What a difference from Li’s previous films!!! But I mean that in a very good way. Well, first off all, if you’re going into this movie expecting a martial arts festival, I have to disappoint you. This movie focuses more on the dramatic storyline, then rather on spectacular fights. Nonetheless very impressive fights are in the movie, it is the storyline between Danny (Jet Li), Bart (Bob Hoskins), Sam (Morgan Freeman) and Victoria (Kerry Condon) that keeps you in the movie. This movie is mainly a drama/martial arts movie and no crime/action/thriller like Imdb shows you. Honestly I haven't seen much of Hoskins’ movies in the past, but believe me the main reasons that keeps you into the movie are the very fine performances from Jet Li and Bob Hoskins. Both of 'em are wonderful.
Director Louis Leterrier also did a very good job filming this movie. The fight scenes are not too quick, so that you can see everything and the dramatic scenes are shot with the right amount of heart to keep the spectator engaged in the movie. But be aware after the first two fights, is a great hole which is filled with 40-50 mins of storyline, which didn't bother me, but I can imagine that people will go into this movie expecting something like ROMEO MUST DIE, TWIN WARRIORS or FIST OF LEGEND and be heavily disappointed, because this movie focuses more on its engaging storyline. So please enter the theater with this in mind and you will love this movie.
