Raised as a slave, Danny is used to fighting for his survival. In fact, his "master," Bart, thinks of him as a pet and goes as far as leashing him with a collar so they can make money in fight clubs, where Danny is the main contender. When Bart's crew is in a car accident, Danny escapes and meets a blind, kindhearted piano tuner who takes him in and uses music to free the fighter's long-buried heart.
What critics thought
A mixed-to-decent reception greeted this Luc Besson-produced action film, with critics broadly admiring the fight choreography while finding the gentler, emotional storyline awkward or underdeveloped. It has since earned a warmer reputation among action enthusiasts than its initial reviews suggested.
“The film is ingenious in its construction. It has all the martial arts action any Jet Li fan could possibly desire.”
Roger Ebert·Chicago Sun Times
