The One is a mixed affair - Matrix-esque in its style with silly cartoon violence - yet Li's never acted better and although littered with gimmickry he still escapes looking cooler than ever. The story is especially nonsense: a futuristic sci-fi adventure (like they all are) detailing the plight of a serial killer through a parallel universe: a crazy Jet Li is determined to kill every other Jet Li on all the different universes to become the supreme 'one'. It sounds shoddy and in truth it is, but lets look on the bright side: the wirework extremes and fast edits seem to escape scrutiny while the special effects that back it all up aren't too bad either, and where else can we see two Jet Li's facing each other for the final extended beat-'em-up?
