Amazing and stunning!

Amazing and stunning? Yes, it is! I have seen many of Jet Li's movies, but unlike Unleashed most of it is content less in the story and acting. However, it seems Li is trying to be more concerned on his acting skills than only relying on his martial arts skills. And yes he proved it all in Unleashed.

Having Morgan Freeman in this movie has quite an impact although in my opinion he did not do much or any spectacular part. Some drawbacks from this movie are the fighting scenes. I have to admit most of them are awesome, however, if you have watched most of Li's movie you would notice that his moves are not original anymore. It is because you have seen those punches, kicks, or whatever it is in his previous movies. And trust me when you see it carefully, they are the same shits! Anyway, I do not think it damages its performance. Personally I like this movie not only because the well fighting scenes and its well-acted role, but also the content. It covers the deepest part of each human being, animal instinct.

Unleashed is started with a scene where a mafia boss, Bart (Bob Hoskins) released his dog, Danny (Jet Li) to execute a group of loanees. Being a dog, which does not know anything about the outside world unless fighting when Bart tells him to by releasing his collar, is what Danny knows of his entire life. It rolls until one day he met Sam (Morgan Freeman) who touches Danny's heart by playing a piano. Sam is a blind man who lost his sight when he was younger. Further, the story goes with a lot of interesting and entertaining scenes of Danny tastes his new world, the human's world.

In conclusion, this is a must-see movie. Hellz out!
