"Danny the Dog" (aka "Unleashed")

Because of the names of Luc Besson and Jet Li, I want to watch this movie. After reading it, I was a little disappointed. It's coaxing foreigners again.

The story is quite innovative, but the production is very rough. It feels like staying out of the picture and unable to "get into the play". The unfolding of the plot is too unconventional. After looking at the front, I can guess what is behind. It's too hypocritical, and there is blunt sensation everywhere, and I have reached the point where I can't bear the sensation of Hollywood movies. Please, the director, can you be creative. It was Morgan Freeman again. Seeing him on the stage, I was so angry that I didn't know what to say. Whenever a black actor is needed, I invite him out. Although I also appreciate his acting skills, but after watching too much, it will inevitably be a little bit aesthetically fatigued. Besides, it’s the same, tepid and signature role. A bit of a breakthrough.

One more thought, maybe too personal. Li played a killer who was raised like a dog. Seeing an outstanding Chinese actor take off his chains to kill and put on chains to go into a cage, my chest is faintly stuffy. This feeling of suffocation didn't dissipate until he was unleashed. Maybe I am too sensitive.

The only commendable thing about this film is martial arts and Jet Li's performance. The scenes of a few fights were straightforward, without the slightest fist, it was Jet Li’s heroic character. Devils, see it, this is what Chinese Kung Fu looks like, don't let Keanu Reeves be fooled. There was a particularly great fight. Jet Li and a foreign monk fought in a narrow space less than half a meter wide. The two were facing each other and couldn't move. You come and go with your fists, which is rare to make people shine. The place.

Jet Li's performance lived up to expectations. After reading a few reviews, I said that this was a breakthrough in Li's acting skills, and finally saw Jet Li playing a Serious Role, not a pure fighter. I am faint endlessly. These devils who haven't watched "Shaolin Temple" thought we Jet Li could not act. In the Huang Feihong series, what Li said was "Snow 1 White 3 Clean 3 Clean 2, Ying 3 Jun 2 Xiao 3 Sa 1", dumping countless sentient beings. Saw Hollywood and ruined people. A good horse also needs Bole. I hope that a director can recognize the hero with a smart eye and let Jet Li exude the charm of the year.

After watching it, I realized that Luc Besson was just a screenwriter, not a director. So I took a sigh of relief, "That's it, a good story is ruined..."

    Jet Li's representative works in the European and American film industry are impressive. I saw it on TV by chance many years ago, and today I revisit the classic and fill in some missing parts. Some of the clips are very dramatic, and I can't help but click on Youku's barrage from time to time to understand the audience's reaction. I often replay the screen because of distraction, and refuse to obscure any details. A truly stunning masterpiece!

    I envy that there are kind and wise elders as mentors in life. The ending is good.
