The music was like a Now That's What I Call Music! compilation for angst-laden suburban male youth. The plot was a superficial cover for the special effects barrage which were, as has been noted, bad imitations of The Matrix. It's blatant: even the title was a rip-off. Plot points were never fully fleshed out: the 'good' Jet Li is completely content with not going back to his home universe because this one has a version of his love interest who just got killed? His reaction is just a goofy grin? 'Bad' Jet Li is suddenly transported to a desolate version of the Shawshank Redemption? In short, I might have been able to excuse everything in this movie being a vehicle for the fight scenes, if they had bothered to make it a vehicle that ran.

The one is definitely one of the best movies that Jet Li has ever acted in.For starters I would like to say that this movie has nothing to do with the Matrix in fact The One is whole lot more better than any movie in the matrix series.My most favorite parts of the movie are the introduction and the ending because they had the most wicked fight scenes that I have ever seen in my life.I loved seeing the Cops getting their A$#ES kicked around in the beginning and then seeing prisoners get their tails kicked in the end.I am EXTREMELY glad that the creators didn't get the rock to star in this movie because The Rock's street fighting style isn't anywhere as cool as Jet Li's martial arts and he can't act as good as Jet either. I also annoyed the music that played for each fight scene because it really helped to bring the movie to life.The sound effects were also very nice, especially the lightning sounds that you hear in the final chapter in the movie when yu law got sent to the stygian penal colony.The last but not least thing about this movie was the purple lighting and other things that the creators used used in the introduction to separate the differences between the parallel universes.The concept of parallel universes has made a very interesting story and script. By the way the review that Taylor B. wrote me laugh a little.I'm just happy to see that there are other people that enjoyed the movie as much as i did, because most critics are A#$ES who wouldn't know a good movie or video game when they see one. I still watch this movie a couple times a week from time to time.

Sheesh, where to start. Dude this movie rocked, It had action it had story and it had music, the martial arts was good, but I guess typical humans what they don't know they hate, he used like 3 forms of martial arts and the scenes were good, the graphics were good, and WHERE IN THE MATRIX DID YOU SEE BODIES GO SLOW MOTION, it was awesome they way the moved super slow and he Jet Li d their ass.
Frederick S. gave it a6:
Not a great martial arts movie but an interesting concept.
Tom M gave it a2:
Practically unwatchable. Not even worth wasting any more time relating how bad it is. As action film go, this one is a yawner.
