Review of Unleashed (2005) by Bisect — 17 Apr 2021
Danny (Jet Li) is a man forced to live like a dog after being orphaned at the hands of a bad mobster (Bob Hoskins). Danny is trained to kill as a boy, while wearing a symbolic collar with a ski boot clip. Danny is used as a weapon to protect the mobster, who saved his life but when Danny thinks that his master died from his enemies. Danny begins to learn about the outside life and he finds himself a loving bond with a blind pianist (Oscar-Winner:Morgan Freeman) and his step-daughter (Kerry Condon). Danny finds himself again in the hands of the mobster forcing him to fight but Danny begins to learn about his other self as well as his own past.
Directed by Louis Leterrier (The Transporter 2) made an terrific action-drama with an surprisingly refreshing sense of humour. Li, Freeman and Hoskins gives excellent performances in this truly underrated film. Li's incredible martial arts theatrics are terrific. The violence in the film is brutal but engaging and fast-paced. This film is vivid and an flawless sense of rhythm.
