Title: OK stunts can't save a stupid script.
Review: The One was Jet Li's attempt to break into the Hollywood mainstream, at least as much as Jacki Chan has managed to break into it. Unfortunately, it's a dismal failure. The script is completely banal, a rehash of movies I'm sure I've seen before. Jet Li's talents are wasted, as instead of doing actual fight sequences, he has to fight against himself (meaning lots of fights with computer inserted images, or other stunt men who get their face replaced), and it robs from the intensity of the fights. For great Jet Li, go back to the "Once Upon a Time in China" series. Skip this one, as fast as you can.
