Unleshed Reviews

Unleashed_poster.jpgUnleashed is a film i’ve been curious to see for a year now. I can’t remember seeing such an interesting combination for a cast before. Jet Li with Morgan Freeman?

So the early reviews are now in, and to my surprise they don’t look too bad. Not great… but not too bad. Here’s what the critics are saying:

“Auds craving for a mix of full-bore, Droog-style ultraviolence and shameless sentimentality made palatable by name thesps will find what they want in Jet Li showcase [Unleashed].”
— Lisa Nesselson, VARIETY

“Jet Li lets fly with his fists and feet of fury. Which is all to the good. It’s the sentimental story that screenwriter Luc Besson sandwiches in between fights that induces a gag reflex.”
— Peter Travers, ROLLING STONE

“The most interesting English-language film [Li] has made yet — an action picture with the emotional simplicity of a bedtime story, painted in the grimy colors of the London underworld.”
— John DeFore, HOLLYWOOD REPORTER

Yeah I’ll be seeing this one on opening weekend… if for no other reason than to see the first HUGE action sequence that’s right at the beginning of the film that was released on the net a few weeks ago. Yummy! You can read more early reviews for Unleashed over here.
