UNLEASHED!

Saw Jet Li's new movie on Sunday... it's very good! Bob Hoskins and Morgan Freeman were their usual amazing acting selves, but Jet Li really impressed me with his improvement. You could actually see his character develop within himself as the movie went along. It is reported that Li actually got acting coaching this time around, and it shows!

The martial arts choreography was done by Yuen Woo Ping... pretty good, although I prefer the fancier moves of his usual repertoire rather than the nitty gritty no-holds-barred style of fight that (rightly so) was drawn up for the combat scenes in "Unleashed". Camera angles were a bit choppy, but that's to be expected when working with stunt people who aren't used to memorizing long complex move sequences.

The nice thing about this movie? Mozart's music saves the day. :) Go see it!
