Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
The One sets a martial arts milestone by pitting action star Jet Li against his greatest enemy: himself. This sci-fi thriller establishes a "multiverse" consisting of countless parallel universes, each populated by variants of every individual. Li plays a renegade from the Multiverse Agency, illegally traveling through "quantum tunnels" to eliminate all versions of himself until only two remain, each sharing the cumulative strength of their "parallel universe versions." This mumbo-jumbo inspires a variety of dazzling special effects, and director James Wong (with cowriter and fellow X-Files alumnus Glen Morgan) injects clever humor into the Matrix-derivative premise. Carla Gugino is wasted as the "good" Li's obligatory love interest, but The One will appeal to action fans with its fast-paced pursuit between the evil Li and two agents (Delroy Lindo, Jason Statham) assigned to stop his trans-universal killing spree. It's a one-gimmick movie, best enjoyed with your brain in neutral. --Jeff Shannon

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT ACTION MOVIE!, September 2, 2004

By	B. Fitzgerald "mr. fitz" (salem, or) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The One is a true "man's" action movie, full of fighting which is made better by the great heavy metal music selections. This movie starts out fast and rarely lets up, pitting the baddest martial arts action hero in movies against himself, it's great! Other reviewers are right, there could be a better story line, but with all of that action and one of the best endings in action movie history, story line is secondary.

4.0 out of 5 stars Jet Li's best american film to date, November 6, 2001

By	Andrew J. Fong (philly) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The one is a very innovative action movie. The slow mo an fast paced action sequences were very cool. The movie has a somewhat involved plot that the filmakers rush too quickly through just to get to the action. I feel that Jet Li is a wonderful actor, his english has improved with each American film that he has made. One great thing to see is that he finally has a love interest. He still has never kissed a woman in any movie I have seen. To people who have seem Jet in Asian movies like myself there still seems to be something missing in his american movies. If you have not really seen Jet Li before this movie should peek your interest. The film is good and I recomend it but how can any Jet li film live up to past masterpieces like Fist of Legend, fong sai yuk, or the Once upon a time in China series. Go see this movie just for the end sequence where each Jet Li fights with different kung fu styles. It is nice to see Martial arts done by a Martial artist.

3.0 out of 5 stars Jet Li wants to be THE ONE, November 6, 2001

By	"wildthing114" - See all my reviews

Jet Li is back in the action pack film THE ONE. Now, If you're looking for a movie with a deep plot, damatic acting, and a deep meaning then don't look here. THE ONE is action packed and that's that. It's an OK action movie. The visual effacts are well done and the acting is OK. Without giving too much away, Jet Li plays a man with the ability to travel to alternate, parallel universes. He also posses super strength, speed, and intellegence. That's all I'm saying about that. THE ONE does have it's moments but it comes off as a low budget MATRIX sequel at times. Some of the action scenes could've been better and the plot could've used some more twists. THE ONE is good but not great.
