Danny has spent his whole life enslaved by Bart, trained to compete in an illegal fighting league. When Bart is injured, Danny must discover his humanity. Jet Li, Morgan Freeman, and Bob Hoskins star. Extras include fight sequence choreography, behind-the-scenes footage, Massive Attack and The RZA music video, deleted scenes, and more. Martial arts superstar Jet Li reteams with French writer-director Luc Besson (KISS OF THE DRAGON) in this psychological action film shot in Glasgow, Scotland. Li stars as Danny, a human attack dog for a powerful mobster he calls Uncle Bart (Bob Hoskins, looking resplendent in white suit after white suit). When Bart and his men go out on their collection runs, they bring Danny, who has been trained since he was a child to fight to kill. When Bart takes Danny's collar off and commands, "Get 'im," Danny goes to work, an unstoppable machine, using the only weapon he knows: his body. But when a turf war ends up in bloody carnage, Danny escapes and is taken in by a kind family consisting of blind piano tuner Sam (Morgan Freeman) and his teenage stepdaughter, Victoria (Kerry Condon). They teach Danny how to be a real person, to be able to act civilly in society. They also allow Danny to explore his love of the piano, where a specific tune haunts him, bringing up repressed memories from his long-ago past. Just when Danny thinks he has escaped from his former life, he is pulled back in, but he is no longer the trained dog Bart thinks he is. Written by Besson and directed by Louis Letterier (THE TRANSPORTER), UNLEASHED is a gripping, heart-wrenching film fueled by the music of Massive Attack and a relentless visual style. And having taken acting lessons for the first time in his career, Li more than holds his own in the presence of such masters as Hoskins and Freeman. Theatrical Release: May 13, 2005 Unleashed Reviews: "Li is action poetry in motion."
-- Bill Travers, Rolling Stone "The infinitely silly, unconscionably entertaining action film UNLEASHED earns most of its juice from the martial-arts star Jet Li, the eminent martial-arts choreographer Yuen Wo Ping and the fine British actor Bob Hoskins in full terrifying lather."-- Manohla Dargis, New York Times "[H]eartfelt, heart-stopping....Bounding out of the gate like a greyhound, UNLEASHED needs only its first 30 seconds or so to elevate itself well above the average action potboiler."
-- Gregory Kirschling, Entertainment Weekly "The staging and editing of several fights are tops even by the standards of Yuen Wo-Ping..."-- Mike Clark, USA Today Unleashed | List Price | $12.98 (You save $3.63) | | Studio | Universal Studios Home Video | | Orig Year | 2005 | | DVD Encoding | Region 1 | | All Time Sales Rank |  79472  | | CD Universe Part number | 6918203 | | Catalog number | 62026363 | | Discs | 1 | | Release Date | Oct 11, 2005 | | Rating | R (MPAA) | | Rating Reason | strong violent content, language, and some sexuality/nudity | | Also Known As | Danny the Dog | | Running Time | 102 Minutes | | Additional Info | Widescreen; Subtitled; DTS Sound; Rated | | Movie Details | Color; Widescreen; Subtitled; DTS Sound; Rated |
Unleashed Movie Review  Stunning Movie by Luc Besson

Jet Li Rules!!!
I never saw this movie in the theaters and once I bought the movie and watched it I was blown away. There are no words to describe how good this movie is. Everything in this movie is top notch. I mean the fight scenes were awesome and the acting was believeable and good. Jet Li probably gave his best performance in this movie. On the other hand Morgan Freeman gave another good performance to, to add to his career. Also the girl who played Morgan Freeman's stepdaughter also gave a great performance too. This movie is great and it's a shame a lot more people don't know about this movie. They'll never experience how great and touching this movie is. By the way this movie isn't juts all action. It's also very emotional too. I mean the chemistry between Li and Freeman is incredible. Plus I love the last scene of the movie. So go out and see this movie. It's defenitaly a must buy to add to your dvd collection.

This review is for a different format. JET LI THE LEGEND
This is one of the best Jet Li films. Although the story is simple, the fighting scenes, (especially this between the two walls) are extremely good. This movie is for the fans of Jet Li and the fans of martial arts in general.

This review is for a different format.  Awesome fighting scenes
Although the storyline could use a quick fix every here and there, the fighting in this movie is awesome! By far Jet Li's best work. Overall it is a good movie, not great, but good enough to keep you entertained.

George Roy Hill's FUNNY FARM stars Chevy Chase as Andy Farmer, a big-city sportswriter. Since he and his wife, Elizabeth (Madolyn Smith), are fed up with the tensions of urban life, they decide to buy a house in the country where each of them will be able to work on their book projects in peace. Shortly after they've moved to a spacious farmhouse in a small New England village, Andy begins to realize that his dreams of bucolic nirvana are, in fact, delusions. First the birds sing too loudly, preventing him from concentrating on his work. Then he learns that there's a corpse buried in their garden, not to mention snakes in their lake. They have to make calls from the pay phone located in their kitchen, and the grasping townspeople seem to have their meters running 24/7. To make matters worse for Andy, who can't get started on his book, his wife has sold her children's book, with a squirrel protagonist named Andy, ...

The first of three prequels to George Lucas's celebrated STAR WARS films, EPISODE I: THE PHANTOM MENACE is set some 30 years before the original STAR WARS EPISODE IV: A NEW HOPE in the era of the Republic. Naboo, a peaceful planet governed by the young but wise Queen Amidala (Natalie Portman), is being threatened by the corrupt Trade Federation, puppets of an evil Sith lord and his terrifying apprentice, Darth Maul (Ray Park). Jedi knights Qui-Gon Jinn (Liam Neeson) and Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor, performing an amazing vocal imitation of Alec Guinness, the older Obi-Wan) are called on to intervene in the trade disputes. Along the way, they acquire an apprentice of their own in the form of young prodigy Anakin Skywalker (Jake Lloyd), or as STAR WARS fans know him, the future Darth Vader. They also encounter Jar Jar Binks (Ahmed Best), a goofy, lizardlike creature who has been banished from his underwater world for clumsiness. When the Trade Federation launches an attack on Naboo, the queen and her allies must battle hordes of robot troopers while Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan face off against the sinister Darth Maul.
