Review of Unleashed (2005) by Anand K — 09 Jul 2013
This is more than a mindless, violent and typical action film, with Jet Li only kicking ass.
The cruel and personal human slavery is a horrible thing to speak of, and a very difficult thematic material to portray in a film effectively.
I won't continue saying that Jet Li's performance was wonderful, since he can't act well in Hollywood movies overall. The plot isn't original at all, neither are the fight scenes, but one thing is sure: this is not your typical pop-corn action film; it's a very complicated story, psychologically speaking, about master-slave relationship, decisions that assure us a better future no matter the consequences, and the loss of identity and taste towards the good and beautiful things of life.
Luc Besson's screenplay wasn't the best thing either, but my point is that this is not what you think it is because of the title and the cover. Good effort that could've been better, excluding the stylish direction.
57/100.
