Synopsis
This is the story of Danny (Jet Li), a slave who has lived his whole life without any sort of normal human education, with the mind and personality of a young child, with only one lesson learned: how to fight. Treated like a dog by his owner/boss, Bart (Bob Hoskins) which includes having to wear a collar, Danny has been raised to be a lethal fighting machine who fights in illegal gladiator-style fight clubs, where he earns lots of money for Bart as the undisputed champion. After a car accident that lands Bart in a coma, however, Danny meets a kind elderly blind piano tuner (Morgan Freeman) on the run because he knows secrets some bad guys don't want known, who uses music to teach Danny some things about the world and about being human...
Critics' reviews
- "Doing nothing special, Freeman manages to make the picture seem wiser, funnier, and more eloquent than it is."
- "Bounding out of the gate like a greyhound, 'Unleashed' needs only its first 30 seconds or so to elevate itself well above the average action potboiler"
- The infinitely silly, unconscionably entertaining action film Unleashed earns most of its juice from the martial-arts star Jet Li"
- "'Unleashed' is like an old dog: No new tricks"
- "An action picture with the emotional simplicity of a bedtime story"
- "A promising idea that never develops beyond that"
