We explore the film's unique blend of martial arts and exploitation elements, discussing its impact on the genre and its reception among audiences. Join us as we dissect the thrilling fight sequences, delve into the film's themes, and analyse the performances of the cast.Joining me today is the wandering ronin himself, Matthew Essary, a fellow connoisseur of the sleazier action movie.

Returning to talk about a true classic today we have Matthew Essary! Talking about the excellent 2001 Jet Li sci-fi flick "The One" which also happens to star another actor you may have heard of called Jason Statham. Jet pulls double duty here though, playing both the protagonist and antagonist of the film and given plenty of room to flex his acting muscles in the process. This is one you don't want to miss!Action Addicts Links: https://linktr.ee/actionaddicts
