movie review - The One

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Vancouver, 2001.11.10

This is a Jet Li ultraviolence sci-fi flick. It's got a surprisingly consistent and intelligent plot for a main-stream sci-fi flick, I have to say, and is very well paced and set. It's nowhere near as gruesome as "Kiss of the Dragon", Li's last outing, and is chock full of funky Matrix-esque special effects. An entertaining action flick.

Recommended.
