If Jet Li hadn’t been in this, I probably would have skipped it. And that would have been a partial shame, because the concept was sort of interesting. Li plays an emotionless fighter who remains completely docile as long as he has a dog collar on. But when his boss the loan shark (Bob Hoskins) takes it off, he turns into an ass-whupping machine. But the “dog” escapes from his master and ends up befriended by a blind piano tuner (Morgan Freeman). The resulting drama is plenty maudlin, but it does feature some well-choreographed fight sequences. Audiences have come to expect no less from Li. Mildly amusing
Media criticism. Pop culture snark. And movie reviews. Lots and lots of movie reviews.
