Danny, a slave who has lived his whole life without any sort of normal human education, with the mind and personality of a young child, with only one lesson learned: how to fight. Treated like a dog by his owner/boss, Uncle Bart which includes having to wear a collar, Danny has been raised to be a lethal fighting machine who fights in illegal gladiator-style fight clubs, where he earns lots of money for Bart as the undisputed champion. After a car accident that lands Bart in a coma, however, Danny meets a kind elderly blind piano tuner on the run because he knows secrets some bad guys don’t want known, who uses music to teach Danny some things about the world and about being human…

Never been a Jet Li fan, but I was expecting some nice kung-fu and all he delivered was a joke. Not good at all, with ten quick hits in the face, yet the adversary gets up like nothing hit him. Rather dreary and boring/predictable bland soup. Sure, I wasn’t expecting any great acting, but at least some good fighting scenes. But alas, no. Time would have been better spent looking for navel lint. Yeah. You better believe it. Only for die-hard Jet Li fans.

My Rating: 5 / 10
