Movie Reviews of 2005 #13 - Unleashed

If you are expecting an action packed kung-fu movie with no substance. This movie is not for you.

But Friday the 13th is a lucky day for people who want to see a great film. And as it is my 13th review, I'm going "Whoooooahh!"

Yes, in the first few minutes there is a fight scene that made all of us cringe. And not just from the visual action, but the sounds of pain were true enough to make my friends & I wince just from hearing the SFX. {sidebar, I think this is the best tracked movie in a long time for ADR & Foley effects for the realism alone}.

But Unleashed is an actual movie, complete with plot, characters you care about, characters you hate, and, yes, some bone breaking violence. BUT . . . It actually is a legit movie that blends everything together & carries you on through this guys life changes from "violent dog" to a "real semi-normal" person. And the sneaky thingthat they did. Those bastards actually make you realize the subplot that ran throughout the whole movie, was actually the primary storyline. And it makes sense. And it make the audience members feel good about what they have seen in the last 103 minutes.

And the end of the final fight scene is worth sitting through the movie just for.

Go see this movie. If you don't like it. . . You have problems, & need to go back on your meds.

Blessed Be, Dr. S.
