Amazon.co.uk Review

The One sets a martial arts milestone by pitting action star Jet Li against his greatest enemy: himself. This sci-fi thriller establishes a "multiverse" consisting of countless parallel universes, each populated by variants of every individual. Li plays a renegade from the Multiverse Agency, illegally travelling through "quantum tunnels" to eliminate all versions of himself until only two remain, each sharing the cumulative strength of their "parallel universe versions". This mumbo jumbo inspires a variety of dazzling special effects, and director James Wong (with cowriter and fellow X-Files alumnus Glen Morgan) injects clever humour into the Matrix-derived premise. Carla Gugino is wasted as the "good" Li's obligatory love interest, but The One will appeal to action fans with its fast-paced pursuit between the evil Li and two agents (Delroy Lindo, Jason Statham) assigned to stop his trans-universal killing spree. It's a one-gimmick movie, best enjoyed with your brain in neutral. --Jeff Shannon

On the DVD: The One, as with all martial arts films, needs near-perfect picture quality for full enjoyment; luckily the film's 2.35:1 anamorphic transfer is spot on with no graininess or washed-out colours. The Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack allows you to hear every punch that Li throws. As well as a scene-by-scene commentary from the director and crew, there are extras galore, including a 15-minute behind-the-scenes featurette, "Jet Li is The One"; "About Face", a short feature about creating the fight scene between the two Jet Lis; and the "Multiverses Create The One", which has more about Li's training for the movie. There's also a selection of trailers and filmographies. --Kristen Bowditch END

5.0 out of 5 stars if not better than the matrix!, 30 April 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: The One [DVD] [2002] (DVD)
This is a must see movie - if you liked The Matrix, you'll love The One. Jet Li's acting is pretty good, but the fight sequences are even better - every one of them, they get better as the movie goes on. The acting from Stratham and Lindo is impressive - Lindo's is better thatn it was in Gone In 60 Seconds, and if Stratham's acting is anything like it is in The One, than I am looking foward to The Transporter. The Soundtrack to the film is outstanding, and fits the film perfectly. So if you like action/sci - fi movies, this a definite must see.Top quality filming at it's best.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Fighting is incredible!, 11 Nov 2002
This review is from: The One [DVD] [2002] (DVD)
Forget the story. Its only there to set the scene for some of the most incredible and amazing fight scenes I have ever seen! Jet Li is amazing, and especially the fight at the end where he fights himself is truly the work of a martial arts film phenomenon!

Special effects are pretty cool too, especially, again, when he fights himself. Its so cleverly edited I dare you to spot when they use the double (as I'm sure they must have done even though I couldn't spot it!).

4.0 out of 5 stars Wicked!, 13 Oct 2003
This review is from: The One [DVD] [2002] (DVD)
No doubt about it, martial arts at it's best here people. Jet Li plays a fine part. The effects included are amazing to say the least, many of them see jet fight himself!!! Don't understand me huh? Don't worry about it, you'll understand if you see the film, even if the story is a little 'brain racking'. Action fans-a must. Jet li fans-definetely. Martial arts fans-Certainly. People in search of something light-sorry but no. The storyline is good but confusing. Overall though, a film worth getting and I'm sure you'll love it-Action/jet li/martial arts or even random fans. ENJOY!!!!
