what is it about, i saw that it was playing, but dont remember seeing any previews for it
It's about Danny (Jet Li) changing from pretty much a human dog to a real free human. This one loan shark guy got Danny when he was a child and raised him up with a collar around his neck and used him to get money from people that defaulted on payments. The collar is like a dog collar...everytime before he "unleashes" him, he takes off the collar and just tells him to kill the person...

The fighting sequences are REAALLYY nice... You can see how he fights like a dog rather than a person... Like he sits there beating the shit out of one person and not caring about other people until he's taken care of that one guy and then moves on one by one.

But as the movie goes on, you see Danny transform from a dog to a human, both in terms of his fighting and his life... This comes about cuz he ends up meeting a family of Sam (Morgan Freeman) and his step daughter (forgot her name)...

It's still pretty much a simple movie in which you can guess pretty much whats going to happen (except for a surprise or two) but the way its done is really nice. I think its really well directed and everything is portrayed really well... I definitely really enjoyed it...

This was the first time I got to jump without an instructor on my back (tandem). I had 2 instructors holding onto my sides just to make sure my form was good and that I pulled the shute, but once the shute deployed I was on my own - which was a lot of fun

I hope some of you guys will make it out there some time.
The way you tell it makes me want to try it. But my brain keeps yelling back "DO NOT JUMP OUT OF PERFECTLY GOOD AIRPLANES"...
