The one is awesome. That's all that needs to be said. Looking for a futuristic, super human, martial arts flick, then look no further. Jet Li star as Gabriel law, a law abiding police officer who, and as a duplicate of Law (Yulaw) who is bent on killing himself? A bit confusing perhaps, but it's awesome watching Jet Li fight himself.
Yulaw comes from another dimension. He is a former dimensional crime fighter turned rogue after discovering he could become stronger by killing off his alternate versions. After escaping prison, he has one ultimate goal, kill the final version of himself to gain immense power and become the One. Unfortunately for him, he is being pursued by two inter-dimensional police, agents Rodecker (Delroy Lindo) and Funsch (Jason Statham). Both are seeking to stop Yulaw once and for all. Gabe is eventually told about what's going on, the other dimensions, and about how Yulaw became so powerful. Gabe also noticed himself becoming more powerful as his counterpart was picking off their alternate versions. With this knowledge, Gabe wages a battle with Yulaw to determine who will be the One. It's a classic tale of good versus evil.
This movie is action packed. It combines two of the worlds greatest action stars (three if you really want to count Jet Li twice), and uses them to it's full advantage. Jet Li fighting himself has some of the best choreography of any movie, and the martial arts performed is stunning. Coupled with great special effects makes this futuristic movie really stand out from most. The plot is old underneath (good versus evil), but on top it's given an amazing new look and feel. Great acting, great action, memorable plot, and some comedy what more could you ask for of a film.
The movie is rated PG-13 for intense action violence and some language. It's a must see film, and fortunately, it's viewable instantly on Netflix, so check it out.
