In this horribly stupid and choppy episode, we invite in "special guest" Alex Scanlon onto the podcast and talk about the Jet Li/Jason Statham team-up of The One.
Movie Synopsis (from IMDB): There 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 (Jet Li)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 (Jet Li) 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?
Adam's Verdict: 3.5/10
Carter's Verdict: 3/10
Alex's Verdict: 8/10
Next Time: In order to lift their spirits after suffering through The One, Adam and Carter will discuss the deeply patriotic Canadian action film Bon Cop, Bad Cop.
