IMDB: Unleashed (2005)
This is the part that allows Jet Li to show a bit of himself aside from his martial arts prowess. If you're looking for lots of kung-fu-Jet-Li this is really not the vehicle for that.
While there's plenty of decent fighting in this film, it is the character studies that push the film above the baseline of standard martial arts fare.
Morgan Freeman and Bob Hoskins portray the salvation mentor (Freeman) and animal trainer (Hoskins).
Li meanwhile, decides on his own what path he wishes to follow, and it is that decision that causes most of the agitation of the film.
Rating: 7
