What critics compared The One to
As intentionally serio-comical as Carpenter's "They Live" (Rowdy Roddy Piper vs. aliens that walk among us) or his "Escape from..." pictures (leather-clad bad-ass Kurt Russell chewing scenery in post-apocalyptic New York and L.A.), "The One" is a parallel universe yarn in which an evil Jet Li goes dimension-hopping to kill his doppelgangers counterparts.
The story has overarching similarities to Jet Li’s The One — directed by Cory Yuen, who gave Yeoh her first lead role in Yes, Madam!
The extensive martial arts action calls to mind the Jet Li multiverse vehicle, The One , which already felt like a generic imitator of The Matrix .
