Product Description

Product Description

Off-beat martial arts thriller. Danny (Jet Li) is a slave who has been raised like a dog by the sinister Bart (Bob Hoskins), who keeps him chained up and only unleashes him to use his martial arts skills in illegal underground pit fights. When Bart is injured in an accident, Danny is able to escape from his hellish existance, and goes on the run in a world which he can barely comprehend. Then he meets kindly piano tuner Sam (Morgan Freeman), who begins to teach him about music and what it means to be human. But Danny's new freedom doesn't last for long, as Bart recovers and sets out to regain his property.

From Amazon.co.uk

Luc Besson wrote and directed the stylish thrillers La Femme Nikita and The Professional; though he didn't direct Unleashed, 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 in Unleashed 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

I feel like I have been watching trailers for "Unleashed" for about a year before it finally came out on DVD this week. So if there was one thing I knew it about this movie it was that Bart (Bob Hoskins) has trained Danny (Jet Li) like he was a dog. While Danny is wearing his collar he is nice and calm, but when the collar comes off Danny is (altogether now) unleashed and becomes a fighting if not killing machine. Then Danny meets up with Victoria (Kerry Condon), who does not treat him like an animal, which suggests that he does not have to behave like one the next time the collar comes off.
You know what sort of action sequences to expect in a Jet Li movie, and on that score "Unleashed" does not disappoint. But in coming up with this story writer Luc Besson ("La Femme Nikita") and first time director Louis Leterrier (who went on to do Besson's script for "Transporter 2") are trying to provide Li with some depth, or at least a role out of the ordinary. However, the most important things they did in putting this movie together was to get Hoskins, who does one of his patented mad dog routines, as the villain, and to get Morgan Freeman to sign up as Sam, the blind piano tuner who is the first to treat Danny the Dog like a human being. There are not many sins in a movie script or plot line that cannot be forgiven if Morgan Freeman is there to keep things together.
If you are expecting wall-to-wall action from "Unleashed," that is not the case. There is also as much piano playing as there is martial arts. But the fighting actually represents an escalation for Danny. The basic gig was that Bart loans people money and if they make the mistake of not paying him back he turns Danny loose.

Jet li is on top form, some the fight scenes are truly amazing, though jet plays the role of danny superbly as well. This is a must for any jet li / martial arts fan / action movie fan although the violence isnt mindless as there is a deep story behind this film "danny the dog".
A very good film with good morals.....please do watch it.

My description above is the best I can give on this film. Never before have I been as surprised as I was when I watched this film. The first thing that struck me as odd was the lead roles being played by Jet Li, Bob Hoskins and Morgan Freeman. I would never have put these in a line up to star in a film together. Surprisingly it worked. Incredibly well!

I was expecting a typical martial arts film (not my first love when it comes to films I must admit), however this film manages to create a very unusual storyline, and integrate both fight scenes as well as a love story (believe it or not).

Danny (Jet Li) has been brought up and trained to behave like an animal. He is kept on a leash until his master (Bob Hoskins) "unleashes" him and his command is to kill whoever and whatever is in his way. Danny has a chance meeting with a blind man (Morgan Freeman) and his stepdaughter and is shown an alternative way to life as he knows it.

This won't be everybody's cup of tea but I must say that I absolutely loved it. If you are looking for a straight up Jet Li Martial arts film this isn't it. What it is however, is a brilliant mix of actors and storyline with some fantastic fight scenes.

If you haven't seen it give it a try!

Danny 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 taught, how to fight.

Treated like a dog by his owner Bart, which includes having to wear a collar, Danny has been raised to help Bart extort people, and later ends up in fight clubs, where he earns lots of money for Bart.

After a car accident that lands Bart in a coma, Danny meets a kind blind piano tuner, who uses music to teach Danny some things about the world and about being human...

Seeing that this is coming from Europacorp, and is written by one time genius Besson, you'd be forgiven if you shuddered a little with the thought of Bad CGI, pantomime villains, and an over the top sheen to the finished product.

But wow,Mathis is the closest thing to Leon Besson has written in years, and you'd be surprised that it's not a full on action movie as the posters and quotes depict it to be.

Yes, its action packed, and fans of Li won't be disappointed, but the best parts of the film are with him and his new family, and learning/realising that life finds a way, and it's not all cages and fighting.

But what this film has done has given Li the chance to something that his other Hollywood vehicles gave him little chance of doing, doing some actual acting.

He's brilliant as Danny, all innocent one moment, and then a brutal killing machine the next. And not just that, his ways inject a subtle amount of humour to the whole proceedings.

Add the fact that you have two prolific actors playing their preferred parts, Gangster and Mentor respectfully, Unleashed is a brilliant movie, and maybe overlooked because of incorrect marketing.

Its a touching movie, caring as much about characterisation and narrative, as it does about fight choreography....
