    Synopsis:
    Written and produced by Luc Besson, and directed by Louis Leterrier, Unleashed features a fantastic performance from martial arts superstar, Jet Li.


    On and beneath the mean streets of Glasgow, fiery gangster Bart (Hoskins) is merciless with debtors, would-be rivals and anyone else he takes a passing dislike to. Bart maintains his stranglehold through his unwitting enforcer, Danny (Jet Li), who he has `raised` since boyhood. Danny has been kept as a near-prisoner: trained to attack and if necessary, kill. Danny knows little of life, except the brutal existence that Bart has so cruelly fashioned for him. However, when Danny has a chance encounter with the sightless piano tuner, Sam (Morgan Freeman), he senses true kindness and compassion for the first time and experiences the transforming power of music.


    When a sudden gangland coup separates Danny from Bart and the gang, Danny escapes the underworld. Taking refuge with Sam and his stepdaughter, Victoria (Kerry Condon), Danny finds a family of sorts and a future... However, the mob will not give up their prize asset so easily, and Danny must soon call upon his skills once more to protect his family and bury his past.
