Warning: Spoilers
I had heard about this film quite a bit, mainly because of the leading star, and when I got to watch it, it was quite good, from director James Wong (Final Destination 1 + 3). Basically there is not one universe, there are many, it is multiverse, and in these universes there are different versions of you. Gabriel Yulaw (Jet Li) is a former MVA agent who killed a version of himself in another universe in self defence, and in doing this discovered not only he, but all other versions of himself grow stronger to be equal. He has travelled illegally across the many universes over 2 years killing the other 122 versions of himself, and the last remaining is Gabe Law (also Li). Yulaw's former partner Roedecker (Delroy Lindo) and new MVA agent Funsch (Jason Statham, putting on an odd American accent) are now after Yulaw to make sure he does not kill Law, because no-one is sure if when the last version of yourself is killed, whether you become a God, i.e. The One, or you destroy yourself. Also starring Carla Gugino as T.K. Law/Massie Walsh, James Morrison as LAPD Officer Bobby Aldrich/'A' World Inmate #1, Dylan Bruno as Yates and Richard Steinmetz as D'Antoni. A good film with some good martial arts moments and a good action star. Good!
