Serve no master.

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 Sam, 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.

Theatrical report

Unleashed is a 2-for-the-price-of-1 movie: a hard-hitting, kung-fu action movie and a "gay" one (the two dudes behind me at the screening said that They™ had turned Jet Li gay). The hard-hitting, kung-fu action movie is all about hitting and kicking and slicing and shooting and bleeding and breaking and dying. It's good. The "gay" movie is about a lost boy being found, discovering the truth about his mummy and falling in love. It's a bit naff.
