    ''The Multiverse, every universe in it, is irrational, sloppy. I try to make it rational. I try to make it neat. You call it murder. How can I murder myself 123 times? I just took those wasted energies and transferred them to one container: me. What if that is our fate? To un...( read more)ite with ourselves, to be unified forever. To be one. I will be The One.''


    A sheriff's deputy fights an alternate universe version of himself who grows stronger with each alternate self he kills.

    Jet Li: Gabe Law / Gabriel Yulaw / Lawless

    Carla Gugino: T.K. Law / Massie Walsh

    Fun yet stupid excuse for Jet Li to have a go at Sci-Fi while jumping around looking smug. Piss take of the matrix? I think you know the answer....

    Jason Statham, Delro Lindo and Carla Gugino also pop up while other versions of Li try to stop Bad Li from killing them to take their energy.

    Very Highlander-ish, Very unoriginal and very corny yet the stunts and effects in places have their odd glimmer of hope. Plot is paper thin and script shabby. Acting has it's odd moments of clarity yet it's all silly mostly. Worth a watch for some mindless fun !

    An average Sci-Fi Action flick!

    When I saw this in the theater I thought it was amazing, in retrospect its a little wanker of a film.

    Good idea and story, but Jet Li's not a very good actor. Otherwise I thought the action scenes were pretty cool.

    Say what?! That's a crazy synopsis. The guy can go to different universes and that's not cool enough? He has to kill the other versions of himself to gain more strength?! That's like, if you could shoot nuclear bombs out of your eyes but decided you also had to also shoot lasers ...( read more)from your nipples or something.

    Stunning martial arts, and an interesting sci-fi story makes this movie a personal favorite.

    This had such a crappy plot. They kind of fused kung fu with sci fi. Jet Li's great, there's no doubt about it, but they add in all this shit with the many universes and it's so stupid.

    Take the clean garbage can that The Matrix and Equilibrium are, and fill it with lots of garbage. That's exactly what The One is... sh!t!

    40/100
