Ah, 2001, what a different wind. Jason Statham Had Just Hit The Big Time, Dropping ino a Couple of Sci-Fi Movie Flops That Year- Ghosts of March and The One – Before moving into his more typecast roles. Was ‘stath-fi’ an untapped genre that never hit its full potential?

The Latter Movie, The OneIs Currently Streaming on Netflix – But Only for A Matter of Days (or Hours, Depending on Wen You Read This), as it’ll be takeen down from The best streaming service at the end of this weeke, on 30 May. So if you’re into retro sci-fi kung-fu movies (if that is now ‘a thing’?)

Now, i’m a Big Statham Fan. SURE, HIS Latest, A working manis no The Beekeeper As i’d hoped, which you can Catch that on Amazon Prime. Howver, i’d HIS Latest Work Over The OneBecause the Now 24-Yaar-Old Flick Could Hardly Be Called A Timeshess Masterpiece.

What’s the One About?

Okay, SO Statham is firmly in The One‘S Credits, but he’s Not Exactly the Main Star. That honour Goes to jet li, the famous martial artist, whose caareer was at it absolute peak in the 2000s. His Starring Role As Gabriel Yulaw Sees Him Take on Not One But Two Characters.

Yulaw, a Police Officer, Faces a Dark Form of Himself Who Has Been Sent from Universe. It ‘ssic good versus evil premise, that sprinkling of sc-fi into what otherwise looks like a conventional Cop-based kung-fu Flick of the ERA.

Based on Its Reviews and Ratings, The One COULDN’T EXACTLY BE CALLED ‘The One to Watch’. Indeed, its Paltry 13% Rotten Tomatoes Score ATTESSTS TO THAT. But if you want to catch statham in his with-hair Era, Serious Bringing ‘British Bruce Willis’ Vibes, THEN WORTH A SHOT.

Spreads ‘stath-fi’ was an indapped genre though. AFTER ALL, THERE ARE DODGY AI-GENERATED TRAILERS APLENTY FOR WOULD-EU Sci-Fi thrillers “Coming late this year”. They’re not, of Course, but Clearly People Love a Bit of Statham Just as they will the sci-fi genre.

Maybe in a parallel universe SomeTime in the Future, the Stars Will Align and Statham Will Head Up A Mainstream Sci-Fi hit. For Now – Howver Briefly – You Can Catch The One On Netflix Instead.
