    [​IMG] What an amazing movie, by the director of Leon.

    The fightscenes were fantastic, and thankfully, they did not ruin things by including too many of them. Compare the fightscenes in Unleashed with Batman, and this will show Hollywood how its done. Best of all, this movie shows that Jett Li can act!

    Morgan Freeman and Bob Hoskins should also be mentioned for playing their parts extremely well. Such a refreshing movie, from all the usual crap.

    Been wanting to see it for a long long time... why hs it taken soooo long to release (at least in the UK). Its gotton quite a bit of praise, which I good since I like Jet Lis movies but lets face it, the acting is usually not amazing.

    This movie is a groundbreaker for Jet Li... the man can act too. His facial expressions were perfect for a role where he has very little dialogue. The story was great, well acted and the fight scenes were amazing too. Let's hope Li puts out another performance like this in his next movie. It's exciting to think that in a long line of cheesy, martial art movie stars there is finally a flicker of hope of a fine actor emerging.

    I just finished watching it, actually - not expecting to find this thread. Unbelievable. One of the best movies I've seen in a while. Jet Li amazed me. I mean the guy looks like a little kid, but the fact that he could ACT like one too, you just wanted to hug him and give him a cookie...and then watch him beat the hell out of people. ;)

    Good stuff. Three cheers for Luc Besson.
