a5c7b9f00b A rogue Multiverse agent goes on a manhunt for versions of himself, getting stronger with each kill. With only one version remaining, he races against the clock to finish him and become "The One." This movie postulates what if there is more than one universe. And that all of these universes are held together by one single stream of energy and that energy is equally distributed to every living in each universe and if one of these beings die, that energy is reallocated equally to each other surviving member. And with each allocation, a person becomes stronger. Now one universe has mastered the ability of crossing into another universe, and a man named Shulaw who believes that if he can kill all of his counterparts, he will become invincible, but there are those who believe that it might have detrimental effects, so try and stop him. Unfortunately, he just has one more person to kill, Gabe Law, but the officers follow Shulaw but Shulaw has committed some crimes and Gabe is accused and is wanted. But Gabe discovers that he has changed and only wants to kill Shulaw not realizing what could happen. The story is kind of forgettable. It's the premise that sounds promising. A what if … there was more to it, than we know. Add to all that some amazing action and you have the movie "The one" with Jet Li.<br/><br/>Jet Li who is very good in this movie, as is Jason Statham. The latter also an action regular is just a supporting player here, but that doesn't mean that he can't show what he's made of. Still as you can guess the main attraction lies within Jet Li and his performance … especially action-wise … That should be your reason to watch this movie! If you expect some art-house/drama movie, than you're completely wrong here! Go watch something else, because here it's all about the action … and the action scenes are good, so I can only recommend this title! This was the most expensive looking B-movie that I've ever seen. Can somebody explain to me why Jet Li was in it? With all the special effects and the fact that there were maybe 7 minutes of kung-fu action in this movie (most of which was enhanced with CGI and split-speed camerawork) I think just about anyone in Hollywood could have taken on this role. Give it to Vin Diesel or Van Damme next time.<br/><br/>I've been a big fan of Li's HK movie work and it seems to me his talent was just wasted here. Hell even his acting (which isn't his strong point) was weaker than average. Then again the one dimensional script and clunky dialogue didn't really leave him (or anyone) much to work with. The concept behind the movie was pretty simple, so why did they need to keep explaining it over and over? I guess that's easier to do then making the script <gasp> interesting.<br/><br/>Then there was the typical Hollywood preoccupation with trying to add as much gunfire, explosions and one liners in a poor effort to simulate action and excitement. I wouldn't have finished watching this movie if it wasn't for a hope that at some point it would actually kick in to gear and get good. It never did, making the ending that much more of a lame disappointment. Leaving it open for a sequel? Please, please no! It's hardly much of a thrill to see The One recycle, on a lower budget, the slo-mo bullet dodges from "The Matrix," along with unspectacular variations on several other of that film's time-bending demolition-ballet effects.
