Unleashed (2005) 7/10

Starring : Jet Li, Morgan Freeman, Bob Hoskins, Kerry Condon
Director : Louis Leterrier
Running Time : 103 mins

Danny (Li) has been trained from a young age to do nothing but protect his boss, gangster Bart (Hoskins), but when Danny develops a relationship with a blind pianist named Sam (Freeman), he discovers his own humanity, something he has been lacking in his life since the death of his mother.

Jet Li is brilliant in this drama wherein he develops a new kind of humanity that had been lacking in his life. Sadly Hoskins is a little too campy as the over the top gangster who holds Li's will captive from an early age. Freeman is pretty much a non entity here, and anyone really could have played his role, but it is definitely Li who makes this believable both as the violent animalistic killer and the slightly childlike captor.
