The One

"Li speaks and acts entirely too much here."

"Too serious about itself and its silly concept, and it offers nothing beyond the fight sequences we've seen before."

"An utterly negligible martial-arts flick--cheap-looking, clumsily written, and not even very well staged, fight-wise."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
1.5/4
"Bad action, worse drama, and excruciating science fiction."
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
1.5/4
"Eighty minutes of dreck for seven snappy minutes of Jet Li going mano-a-mano with himself? I want more."
Palo Alto Weekly
Jeanne Aufmuth
2/4
"Li kicks a good amount of ass in the film, but he’s certainly no Oscar contender."

Jeremy Heilman
"A disappointing and less than involving affair that feels like nothing more than a rock 'em, sock 'em video game."
Screen It!

6/10
"This flick packs a whallop, lasts little more than 85 minutes and doesn't pretend to be about anything else but kicking a lot of ass!"

"una colección de huecos inexplicables en su guión."
Cinenganos
Luis Martinez
1.5/5
"Not a video game, but an incredible simulation of one trying to pass itself off as a movie."
TV Guide's Movie Guide
Maitland McDonagh
2/4
"Morgan and Wong lose sight of what makes Li such an appealing star in the first place: his natural athletic ability."

Michael Dequina
2/4
""The One" is an expensive-looking martial arts-science fiction movie that delivers a lot less than you would expect from it."
Laramie Movie Scope
Robert Roten
C+
"I got a kick out of the old-fashioned stunt work sprinkled with “Matrix” like action and wire-work a la “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.”"
Reeling Reviews
Robin Clifford

""The One" is pure pulp junk and Wong embraces it as such, rushing through the mundane details of establishing characters and defining motivation to leap into action..."
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Sean Axmaker
