Freaktana A Major Disappointment

Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

SnoopyStyle In an alternate universe, superhuman Gabriel Yulaw (Jet Li) kills his double Lawless who is a prisoner being transferred. MVA agents Harry Roedecker (Delroy Lindo) and Evan Funsch (Jason Statham) manage to capture him. Yulaw has been traveling to other universes to kill 123 of his doubles to gain their powers. He is sentenced by the Multiverse Authority to prison in the Hades Universe. He escapes to our universe where his double Gabe Law is a L.A. sheriff deputy married to T.K. (Carla Gugino). It's his last double and the survivor becomes The One.There are the backbones of an interesting sci-fi idea. It's Highlander in a Multiverse. It has good possibilities but this movie has too many problems. First, I love some of the fights. Putting everybody else in slow-motion is a genius idea that actually fits Jet Li's reputation. However he is not a good actor and this is not a simple acting exercise. He has to be different people and he has to be convincing as opposing Jet Li's. He's not up to the challenge especially back then.There are also annoying things about the story. The fact that they keep trying to capture him rather than kill him is problematic. Later they come up with a questionable reason. If he's that dangerous, these people would do more to neutralize him. At least, wing him or chop off his hands. Evil Jet Li should never be captured until the climax. This multiverse world has too many questions that isn't worked out that well.

Maziun *SPOILERS*SPOILERS*SPOILERS*SPOILERS*SPOILERS This little stinker rips off many movies : „ Matrix " , "Highlander" and even Van Damme's "Timecop". The lack of originality wouldn't hurt so much , if the movie was enjoyable . It isn't . It's a big budget B-movie . Crap fest from beginning to end.Director James Wong is mostly known for "Final destination" . That movie also had ridiculous idea behind the whole plot , yet it was quite enjoyable. Mostly because it had some twists all along the way and characters you could relate to."The One" doesn't have anything . The story is predictable from the beginning to the end , unless you have IQ lower than Forrest Gump . The characters aren't written at all . They lack depth and it's sad to see how actors struggle to give them some illusion of humanity.Compared to the movies I've mentioned in the beginning "The One" sucks terribly . "Matrix" basically pioneered the whole "bullet time" effect . "The One" rips off the "bullet time" so badly I almost died laughing. "Matrix" had substance and interesting universe . Don't look for that in "The One"."Highlander" had heart and affecting love story , not to mention great rock songs by Queen . Here the love story is dreadfully generic , the movie has no heart and the soundtrack contains awful modern rock songs."Tmecop" had many small twists that made it an enjoyable popcorn movie. Here you can guess every twist from miles away. Just how many times the intergalactic cops had bad Jet Li cornered ? And how many times you knew what will be the result ? "The One" is incredibly cheesy and annoying . The scene when Jet Li explains how he met his wife is one of the most pretentious scenes I have ever seen . The humor is incredibly cheap ("I will show you how to kill him") . The drama feels fake . There is no real plot and the characters just are . The double ending is laughable and sets a way for possible sequel (NOOOOOOOO!) I don't even want to waste time at some of the stupidity here . Why does Jason Statham talks to another version of Delroy Lindo about how much he respects him ? It's isn't HIS Lindo so why waste time ?! The good Jet Li without any training is EQUAL to the bad Jet Li who gained power from killing 123 victims (or something like that ). How ?! How does bad Jet Li know where the good one lives ? Why the multiverse government at the end sends the bad Jet Li to another planet instead of just killing him ?! Aren't they afraid that he will escape ?! Instead the were very eager to kill the good Jet Li who helped defeat him ?! I have to admit that the fights look really nice and they are photographed in a way that allows you to clearly see what is going on (something you can't always say about modern action movie with quick cut montage). Too bad that's the only good thing in the movie.I give it 1/10.

schizoidplaza I have been a massive fan of The One since I first saw it in 2002 and it is in on my long term list of comfort pop corn cinema especially good for curling up to in bed or on the couch late at night.Sure it has many flaws such as a limited and narrow soundtrack, mostly numetal that isn't uncommon for many action films of the era (Think Triple X or Underworld). The general emotional commitment from the cast is quite minimal apart from Harry Roedecker (Delroy Lindo) and T.K. (Carla Gugino) though their contribution is still a couple levels above basement. I actually see the deadpan emotional involvement in this film as productive as it is seldom needed to carry the film.Jet Li does surprisingly well portraying the dual personalities of Law and Yulaw.The special effects are amazing and work well for the film and apart from the final fight scene I see them as undated even in todays standards.If you love your b film action with plenty of eye candy and acting cast that generally excel in the genre then I thoroughly recommend this film.I recommend seeing The One on Blu Ray to maximise the cgi fest.

oneguyrambling The basic premise of The One is actually pretty elaborate and could have been spun out in numerous different ways.Most of them probably would have resulted in better films than this.In short there are apparently numerous parallel universes running simultaneously, in each of these exists another version of you. Each time one of these variants dies that person's essence, vitality, strength and abilities is immediately absorbed into the remaining 'yous'.It turns out that a man named U-Law (Jet Li) has discovered this and has set about destroying all other versions of himself 'Highlander' style until there can be only (the titular) One.There are a grand total of 125 U-Law variations.He has killed 123… Only Gabe Law (also Jet Li) remains.Now apparently this mustn't be the first time someone came up with this fiendish theory of Law domination, as inter-dimensional travel is strictly policed, and a team of agents has been tailing the ever-stronger U-Law for some time, lead by the duo of Jason Statham and Delroy Lindo.Once it is evident that only one remaining Law stands in between U-Law and his domination they decide to short cut the procedure and head straight to his dimension – to cut U-Law off at the pass – so to speak.Gabe Law is actually different in all ways from U-Law, he is in fact not that naughty at all, but a cop, happily married to his loving wife TK. He also is struggling to come to come up with reasons as to why he feels about 61.5 X stronger lately… Gabe understandably takes the news that he is being hunted by himself from another reality with the proverbial pinch of salt, until U-Law shows up and starts blazing away.Now with the two remaining Law variants having approximately 50% of the strength of 123 guys each, The One has every excuse for indulging in some over the top action sequences, and it has these in spades. Unfortunately it is also lumbered with some bad angst ridden neu-metal (disclosure: some of which I liked), wire work galore in the often terrible fight sequences, and some lamentably dated 90s CGI.Delroy Lindo does his best to remain interested and Statham's performance is most notable for an awful US accent (which perhaps explains why in every subsequent film he has essentially played each character as himself), and Jet tries as hard as he can to make it easy to differentiate the two 'Laws' from each other, but it's fair to say he mostly fails because he in real life I am positive that Jet Li is simply a nice guy – he just doesn't do 'surly' well at all. It is also a huge (and repeated) failing by the US filmmakers to ignore Li's natural abilities and athleticism in favour of obvious wire-work and el-cheapo computer assisted enhancements.Final Rating – 5.5 / 10. The One should have been so much better, there is a solid film in this premise which probably exists in a parallel universe somewhere, but alas in ours this variant is teen-friendly wannabe tough mindless pap.By the way if you can bear it the best line in the film is actually the last, though it is hilarious in a way that likely differs from the intent of the filmmakers.
