Chicago Tribune by Allison Benedikt
Unleashed is like an old dog: No new tricks.

Village Voice by Benjamin Strong
Cloying dreck.

Los Angeles Times by Carina Chocano
Includes a few scenes of impressively choreographed mayhem, but they're all but buried in Freeman and Condon's mystical grandpa and weirdo teeny bopper routines.

Philadelphia Inquirer by David Hiltbrand
Freeman and Hoskins lend the film a level of artistry it doesn't really deserve. Unleashed has a vivid concept, but savagery and sentimentality make strange costars.

Christian Science Monitor by David Sterritt
Luc Besson's screenplay is dumb, but has just enough weird touches to give occasional glimmers of interest.

The New York Times by Manohla Dargis
The infinitely silly, unconscionably entertaining action film Unleashed earns most of its juice from the martial-arts star Jet Li.

Rolling Stone by Peter Travers
Li is action poetry in motion. Damn them for spoiling our popcorn fun with salty tear-jerking.

The most enjoyable film Besson has had his name on in eons.
