Jet Li: From Canine to Human
Jet Li's martial arts acting career has shifted from pure martial arts either as the hero or villain to roles that require him to radiate emotion in between the fight scenes. In UNLEASHED, he continues this mid-life metamorphosis as Danny, a very confused mob muscle enforcer who wears a dog collar when not carrying out his boss's lethal orders. Bob Hoskins is Bart, the evil boss whose frequent ruminations about the philosophical underpinnings of evil bring to mind a similar role from MONA LISA. Here, he takes off Danny's collar as a symbolic unleashing of the brute canine desire to rend that he is sure lies just beneath the surface. And for the first half of the film, we are as sure as Bart that Danny is exactly as Bart sees him. Danny shows no emotion as he quickly dispatches hordes of flunkies who suffer the great misfortune to be late on their mob loans. He shows even less emotion as he seems adjusted to living in the human dog cage that he calls home. But little by little, Danny begins to shed his canine surface. Indeed, for a while we are not even sure if Danny can speak. When Danny meets a blind piano tuner Sam (Morgan Freeman), we can sense that the bullying that Danny has endured at the hands of Bart will be replaced by the infinitely wiser and gentler hands of Sam, who sees in Danny a young man who can help him in that now Sam has a reason to teach the intricate art of piano tuning to a worthy student. It is when Danny escapes his collar that he becomes fully human, and when he confronts an unwilling Bart who attempts to reconnect Danny to his canine roots, we can see that Danny has made the light years long jump from unthinking dog to thinking man. <

>The fight scenes are of course well done and Jet Li's fans will find no fault with them. But for those recent fans who have become used to a Jet Li who can command center stage with a flick of the eye rather than a deadly kick, UNLEASHED is an action film that adds just enough human drama to showcase him as an actor who can fight rather than a fighter who can act.

Great Movie
I've always been a fan of fighting movies. I'm a guy i can't help it. This one is different. Not only does it have great action scenes, it also has some compelling drama scenes as well. Jet Li did an incredible acting job on this movie. I was amazed at how well he performed this roll and with an actor like Morgan Freeman as well this movie was bound to be great. I was really moved be the story line of this movie.
