Unleashed

Film Threat by

One of the best Sunday Afternoon action flicks since the glory days of Schwarzenegger.

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.

L.A. Weekly by Scott Foundas

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