This is far and away my fave Jet Li film.

None of the stupid wire-fu and the greatest acting of his career.

I love this film 'cuz of Luc Besson's script.

The 40 mins where Sam and Victoria teach Danny to be human again is the heart of this film and REALLY makes you root for Danny. Combined with Massive Attack's soundtrack, the great action scenes, terrific writing, 3 dimensional characters, a villian you can't help but hate and a hero you can't help but root for and you get a film that leaves others in this genre looking ver bad indeed.

I give Unleashed a 9/10

It is my favorite Jet Li film. The palpable mix of action and emotion make it one of the most visceral and moving action films I've seen in recent memory. Li also puts forth one of his best performances in this film.

About the only thing I'd change is the title. Personally, I would have just entitled the film "Danny."

No. Not by far. Fearless and Fist of Legend are clearly better. And I also prefer Hero when I am in mood for fantasy kung fu with lots of wires.

this is easily my favorite Jet Li movie of all time, though I must admit it's definitely not his best

huo yuan jia, kiss of the dragon, the fong sai yuks, and black mask were excellent also


didn't like fist of legend that much. bruce lee's was better in every way. jet li played that character WAY too softly

Hero - it was so beautiful. Definitely my favourite so far.

Lethal Weapon 4 - not a favourite, but Jet Li stole that movie from under the nose of Mel Gibson! I loved his humour.

Kiss Of The Dragon - watched it last night and really enjoyed it.
