warn this review may contain spoiler the idea behind the character of danny ( jet li ) be a good one young boy be take by hoodlum and raise to behave like a vicious pitbull and control mainly by whether his collar be on or off his neck . however and the writer do not know how to deliver this idea within the constraint of believability . he have danny meet a blind pianist and sam ( morgan freeman ) and who have to be the most trusting fool a man ever be along with his nit wit and endlessly babble and rather unattractive step daughter and victoria ( kerry condon ) . i be stun and by the way and when i learn victoria be suppose to be 18 she look 25 or 30 to me . amazingly there be no romance between danny and victoria . when danny turn up again and wound and what do sam do but take him straight home . danny be out for 2 day and but do these nit wit take him to a hospital . nooooo . i do not know if they even call in a doctor . now danny be obviously not a mentally stable person and this be apparent from the get go and yet sam take him into his home and where both he and his step daughter could have be seriously harm or even kill by this rather strange and young man . why morgan freeman take this insipid role in this asinine film i can not even begin to guess . surely mr. freeman be not that desperate for a paycheck . then we have bob hoskins a bart and the gangster who own danny now you talk about a son of a gun that hard to kill . the car bart be in get riddle with bullet that would have rival bonnie and clyde demise . we think he dead and but no . then we have another car accident and yet again and ol bart escape unscathed . in addition to that and we also have danny fight half a dozen tough guy at a time and plus a scene where danny have decide he doesn not want to fight any more . i do not care how much a person doesn not want to fight and when it be down to the wire of you fight or you die and i think anyone would fight . a i say in the subject head this film be about 40 mile outside the boundary of reality a we have come to know it . it not just a case of suspend belief it completely beyond that . furthermore i never do understand why danny mother who turn out to be a nice lady and rather than the prostitute bart claim she be and become mixed up with bart and his gang and get shoot . maybe that be my fault and i get distract right about the time that scene come on but it seem highly unlikely she and bart would have ever cross path . 4 star out of 10 and that be generous .
