Details: Product DescriptionRaised like a dog and forced to fight in death-matches all his life, Danny gets a new lease on life when he befriends a blind piano teacher and his young friend. He is forced to choose between his newly found humanity and the life he escaped when re-captured by his former master Bart.Actors: Jet Li, Morgan Freeman, Bob HoskinsAmazon.caLuc Besson wrote and directed the stylish thrillersLa Femme Nikita andThe Professional; though he didn’t directUnleashed, the script has his trademark fusion of outrageous sentimentality and over-the-top violence. Hong Kong action superstar Jet Li (Romeo Must Die,Hero) stars as Danny, a man raised to be a brutal attack dog by a nasty gangster named Bart (Bob Hoskins,Mona Lisa)–when Bart removes Danny’s collar, Danny pulverizes everyone in the room. But a chance encounter with a blind piano tuner (Morgan Freeman,Million Dollar Baby) reveals to Danny the possibility of a less brutal life, and when a retaliation attack gives him the chance to escape, he does–but Bart won’t let him go that easily. The fighting inUnleashed is effectively jolting; Li and fight choreographer Yuen Wo Ping (The Matrix) have purposefully stripped away the smoothness of most movie combat (especially with a genuine martial artist like Li) with raw, unnerving results, especially when juxtaposed with the sweet and earnest scenes of Li regaining his humanity with Freeman and his step-daughter (Kerry Condon). This freewheeling cocktail of bloody noses and ice-cream cones isn’t for everyone, but fans of both Besson and Li will leave satisfied.–Bret Fetzer
