Summary: This ONE is the ONE, almost
Review: This is a very good movie. As one would expect from any Corey Yuen film, the action is superbly choreographed. Jet Li is a personable star with amazing martial arts skills. The special effects were fantastic and the movie in general, was entertaining and a lot of fun. But there were holes in the movie, some of them too noticeable to ignore. For instance, if the current technology allows you to "forecast" WHEN a worm hole is going to materialize, why do the characters magically also have the power to change the end points of the worm hole? Why can they adjust the temporal aspect as well? There are other holes too. If "Gabe" and "T.K." are husband and wife, why does Jet Li treat her like a sister, especially in scenes where he should show more intimate attention for the woman who is his "center"? Why is it that in spite of all the special effects, Yulaw does things that are physically impossible, even for a person with the strength of 60 men? There seems to be a real inconsistency with the abilities of the characters. And the last why is why weren't there any deleted scenes on the dvd? Considering how many scenes are talked about in the director's commentary, why didn't they put any of them on the dvd? Yes, I'm glad that I have added this movie to my collection, I'm sure it's one that I'll see over and over again. It's fun and I recommend it to people. But I would love to see some of those deleted scenes...

Summary: It's good for a Friday night.
Review: I thought this movie was average. The plot was derivative and overly complicated, and I couldn't get into all the sci-fi technobabble. However, the fighting action and the martial philosophies expressed were very cool. For once, special effects seemed to enhance the story rather than distract you from it. "The One" gets an extra star because of that badass ending! Jet Li's final line would be just okay coming from anyone else, but when it's uber-good guy Jet Li saying those words, it's classic.

Summary: The One
Review: Think of this as a man who can pick up police motorbikes and you will be dissapointed, think of it as Jet Li being able to pick up motorbikes and you will enjoy the film no end. Despite the pretty poor acting from some actors aho have already proved themselves and let themselves down, any Jet Li or martial arts fan will be over the moon with the amazing fighting scenes. This film is a must in any collection due to its outragous storyline and amazing special effects. Jackie Chan, your on your way out mate.

Summary: A Bad Movie With Good Intentions...
Review: This movie had potential, but it turned out to be a great disappointment. Here's 10 reasons I don't like it: 1. Jet Li can't act, so he shouldn't talk so much.
2. This movie is simply a weak attempt at imitating The Matrix. Very weak.
3. Carla Gugino is in it. 'Nuff said.
4. The ending stinks.
5. The fight scenes are hokey.
6. It's boring.
7. It's predictable.
8. At times the actors attempt to be funny. Unsuccessfully.
9. Too much talking, not enough action.
10. They ruined a good storyline. The creators came up with a good idea and made a bad movie out of it.

Summary: `Matrix' and `Romeo must die' in one movie
Review: Jet Li, again in an action movie.
Romeo must die was stupid and boring, the Matrix was a great and never seen new cool action/ciencie fiction movie.But this was non stoppin' action without sense.
I mean, the fight scenes were great, visual effects are excellent.But waht about the plot?... There are like 125 you in differents universes and if you kill them all, you can became a god or you can destroy the whole universes and all the people will die. I speaccially liked Carla Cugino's(Spy kids) performance.She's so pretty and talented.I was shoked y how she was in Spy kids.
...Mama mia!
Also Delroy Lindo was great. Well, this guy called JU LAW(All the 125 them are called LAW), killed a 123 of them.And thereÂ's only one left.If he killed him, he'll be THE ONE.
But, killing the others gave them a lot of energy.So they can kick motorcicles and cars like if they were toys.
Now the one left has to stop JU LAW(But not kill him).Can you imagine what is going to be his faith?...I think so. Something about the ending: It has one of the most stupid and bad endings in the history of bad endings.
Come on!, what was that?.A 2001 version of Mortal Kombat? Or a crazy people place like in Ravenous? I donÂ't now.Do not see it, 'cause if you don't like(like I said) action without sense, you'll never, ever, like this film. FINAL GRADE: D

Summary: The One is distinguished movie
Review: The idea in this movie is outstanding. After killing all "yourself" in multi universe, you become the only one and the strongest. Jet Li of coure does not let his followers disappointed, you cannot find similiar fast paced action in current action films. You understand he received demanding training in the past, this explains why he can perform so many fast pace action by himself. This is a movie worth seeing.

Summary: "The One"
Review: The One (PG-13) ***/5
Jet Li, Delroy Lindo, Carla Gugino, Jason Statham, James Morrison.
Directed by: James Wong.
Synopsis: A malicious version of a young police officer is traveling through dimensions killing versions of him self to gain power.
Special Features: Widescreen and Fullscreen Versions of the Film, Director and Crew Commentary, Animatic Comparison, Making-Of Featurettes, Trailers, Filmographies.
Review: I loved the concept of this film. Where Jet Li travels between dimensions killing other versions of himself to divide their power among the survivors. Hot on his trail are cops (Lindo and Statham). He then goes to the final dimension and does battle with an equal version of himself. This is a fun flick; it has a great premise, "Matrix" like action, but fails to capitalize many times. Li is great in his multiple roles, Lindo and Statham are great as the multiverse cops, Gugino turns in 2 good performances. Wong directs with an incredible amount of energy and style. As for the DVD? Jam packed action film fans should enjoy this as a fix before the next "Matrix" films.

Summary: There can be only One. You know the drill.
Review: Like a preceding film Highlander, this film has a similar theme. One man sets out to kill his alternate selves to gain an ultimate power. There are 125 alternate universes and Gabriel Yulaw (Jet Li) is from the one which has the means to travel to all others and polices the means of that travel. He is a former police officer of the Multiverse Authority who has discovered that by killing each of his alternate selves, he becomes faster, smarter and more powerful. His eventual aim is to kill them all and become The One. No one seems to be sure whether he'll become a god or this universe will end, in fact no-one, including Yulaw himself has any idea. It's clearly not stopping him from trying though. Obviously not a man overflowing with brotherly love when he says how his alternates are wasting their potential so he might as well be putting it to good use. Given how disreputable most of his alternates look, he does seem to have a valid point. We see him kill one of his two remaining alternates and then escape the local police before being captured by his former teammates. He doesn't stay imprisoned for long. Thanks to an exploding rodent (!) he escapes in search of the last of his alternates. This would be Gabe, who is married to a nice vet. He is perplexed as to why he has been getting stronger and faster himself. It turns out that each surviving alternate gets equally stronger as the power is equally redistributed after each death. Yulaw has the jump on everyone else as he knows what is going on and none of his alternates know about him, let alone trying to kill him. The fighting is very cartoon like, with people being thrown about like rag dolls, heavy objects being thrown about like styrofoam and impossible physical feats such as springing high walls in a single bound. That's the point though, it's deliberately meant to be over the top. The problem with this very slight film (it is all but over by the 70 minute mark) is ironically that it takes too long to get to what we want to see. A full on hand to hand fight of Jet Li vs Jet Li, as opposed to all the skirmishes where the two didn't really connect up to that point. The fight is extraordinary but it takes its time getting there. In the acting department, no one really distinguishes themselves apart from Jet Li, who does put some menace into Gabriel Yulaw. There are some people in this film we would expect a lot better from. Some of the other performances are actually quite embarrassing in fact. This is one of those films that it pays not to think too hard about. Since they would have worked out what Yulaw was up to well before getting this far, they should have been able to trap him by then. You'd also think that they'd send more than two men to get him if he was so dangerous. What especially bothered me was that for someone so powerful, they repeatedly manage to capture Yulaw again and again and if it weren't for some fortuitous (and often stupid) events allowing his escape each time, the movie would have come to an even more premature end. You especially have to worry about the people running the whole show with such decisions as to how they decide at the end which of the 2 Jet Li's is their man. I would have also thought that the number of alternate universes would have been a base 2 multiple like 128. Like I said, best not to think of these things too much. Overall, this film is not as good as it could have been. It failed to really explore the potential of the idea it was based on. Yulaw's fate at the end of the film was intriguing though and it would be intriguing to have seen where that led. I would recommend "Time and Tide" (directed by Tsui Hark - non sci-fi) as a much better action film or The Matrix instead.
They should learn more from Asian cinema. If Jet Li or Jackie Chan had never made it in the US, or outside Asia it would have been our loss, not theirs. They have made some great films in Hong Kong which are worth chasing down (Once upon a Time in China and Police Story 3:Supercop) and the makers of their American films should learn more from them. From a couple of X-Files alumni (James Wong and Glen Morgan) and was originally planned as a vehicle for Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Well known fight choreographer Corey Yuen helped create the fights in this film. The extras on the DVD are fascinating, with 3 features about the making of the film, a lot of which dealt with the techniques used to make it look convincing that Jet Li was fighting Jet Li. It's well worth seeing these to get an insight into the complexities of movies that use a lot of special effects. Not a huge success at the box office, with a budget of $50-60 million and grossing about $44 million in the US and Canada and about $40 million on domestic video rentals. Hopefully for the makers, the film was pushed into the black with overseas takings. Even though I was not overly satisfied with this film, I am a little curious to know what happened next and wouldn't mind an (unlikely) sequel. Will Gabe survive in a world where he has no job and shares all the identifying characteristics of a man declared dead by the authorities? Will Yulaw become King of the Hill? Not really a very successful as a film but worth a look for the excellent fight at the end and 3 very good features about the making of the film. For some reason we didn't get trailers on the Australian disc.
