Review of The One (2001) by Mohamed A — 05 Dec 2012
The basic plot is Jet Li is this guy who wants to destroy the other Jet Lis that exist in parallel universes in order to become, â~The One.' However, he's got a little problem, there's a whole agency to police travel between these universes, i.e. just take the fundamentals from `Time Cop' and make it about universes, not time.A lot of people called this to a â~B' movie, and in all seriousness it is. It is a â~B' movie with some very nice computer work. The plot has been shot through with so many holes (much like the entire supporting cast), that its just irritating. So, if you kill the other 120-some-odd yous, you'd become The One. Basically, if another you dies anywhere in the `multiverse,' you get their wisdom, strength, speed, etc.
One huge hole they never bother to cover is the fact in the theory that this movie is based on, if you outlive all the other yous and live say, to 100 or something⦠You'd technically become The One, and be the fastest and strongest person to ever exist. I don't know about you, but I'd personally love to see senior citizens kick some whippersnapper keester Jet Li-style. But, come on... It's just not going to happen. The action was pretty decent, though, I got to admit. I just require more than action. The One, as it deserves.
