The One

here is not one universe, but there are many, which is a multiverse. Supposing you are just one person, there are many other versions of you in the other universes, there are ways to travel, but only a police agency,MVA, can travel only for police procedures. Gabriel Yulaw (Jet Li)is a former MVA agent, who killed another version of himself in self-defense. It made the other versions of him stronger. When Yulaw found out about this, he became power-hungry killing the 122 other versions for two years. After killing Lawless (also played by Jet)and getting captured by his former partner Roedecker (Delroy Lindo) and a new MVA agent Funsch (Jason Statham) Yulaw managed to escape the prison and is trying to kill his last target, Gabe Law (also played by Jet) who is a police officer. He is also at Yulaw's strength. Roedecker and Funsch now have to arrest Yulaw before he can kill Gabe. There is a possibility that the universe could die or make Yulaw invinible. After encountering Yulaw for the first time, Gabe thought that it was his split personality, but it wasn't. Will Gabe be able to confront Yulaw before or after Yulaw ruins his life?

This movie had a very strong plot basically staing that if you could jump through dimensions and you killed yourself in the other dimensions than the power of that individual would be dispersed to all the other you's in the other dimensions. The only thing i had a problem with that was the idea of life energy being absorbed by another is from the Highlander series. So it's not that i didn't like it cause i loved it but the premise isn't new by any means. I thought the special effects and the choreography for the fight scene's was incredible. plus the soundtrack was a good addition. I gave this movie a 9 out of 10. If you get around to checking this movie out the very last scene of the movie is pretty cool.
