Starring Jet Li, Morgan Freeman and Bob Hoskins, Unleashed is the story of a Glasgow gangster, Bart (Hoskins), who raised orphan Danny (Li) to help him collect debt, dispose of rivals and is then forced to take part in an underground fight network to make Bart more money. In a chance meeting, Danny finds a friend in Sam (Freeman) who takes Danny in and teaches him about life outside of fighting.
The fight scenes in the film are very well done and are sometimes are in a Matrix style making it more interesting and enjoyable. The story of Danny starts with his life as Bart's debt collector and travels back to his childhood revealing some of the mysteries of his life and how he managed to come to Bart.
Compared to other Jet Li martial arts films (Romeo Must Die, Kiss of the Dragon, The One), Unleashed definately rates as one of the best and is definately worth watching.

I think you could have done with including a lot more information for the higher ratings here. Take a look around at other people's reviews and you should see what I mean. Happy to re-rate if you add to this, just put a note in my guestbook to let me know when you're done.
