Wong's efficiently creepy Final Destination was as much memento mori as teen disposal unit, but in The One the maze of death leads only to exhaustion.

This sci-fi/martial arts hybrid has the stale aura of a product assembled out of bits of other action movies.

Li speaks and acts entirely too much here.

I guess you would call this a twin Jet movie. That doesn't quite take off.

A chaotic kung fu, sci-fi, rama-lama-dingdong on themes handled more originally by The Matrix.

Fans of The Matrix will hold their noses, as will those who put down sparring Arnold Schwarzeneggers in The 6th Day (now looking better).

It's the kind of movie ... where the hero is cheered not for the grace of his moves but for the number of rounds of ammo he can spray and the punches he can land.

It's The Matrix's less-refined cousin, the one that didn't pay full attention in cool school.

Don't worry about Jet Li. He can take care of himself. His latest American movie, however, needs triage.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 2, 2001
A martial-arts flick that transcends its genre with surprisingly strong sci-fi concepts.

[Wong] drains the artistry from the martial arts, shooting the aerial work without the requisite grace, and adding a plebian array of not-so-special effects.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Nov 2, 2001
Offers brainless high-tech action without interesting dialogue, characters, motivation or texture.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Nov 2, 2001
A dimwitted parallel-universe slugfest that sets a new low for a Hollywood martial arts extravaganza built around a major star.

Even by the grunting and grimacing standards of comic-book action films, the performances in The One are undernourished.

A blast of first-rate entertainment.
