Plot: A man enslaved by the mob since childhood and raised into behaving like a human attack dog escapes his captors and attempts to start a new life.

Unleashed (also known as Danny the Dog) is a 2005 French-British-American action film directed by Louis Leterrier and written by Luc Besson. Jet Li stars as Danny, a man who has been raised from childhood by violent loan shark Bart (Bob Hoskins) to behave like a dog and serve as his personal enforcer. With a metal collar around his neck, Danny remains passive and obedient; once removed, he becomes a highly skilled and relentless fighter.

After Bart is injured in a violent ambush, Danny escapes and is taken in by a blind piano tuner named Sam (Morgan Freeman) and his stepdaughter Victoria (Kerry Condon). They care for him and help him experience life beyond violence, teaching him how to live as a normal person. Danny gradually recovers fragments of his past and learns the truth about his mother, a pianist who was killed by Bart years earlier.

Bart eventually reclaims Danny and forces him back into underground deathmatches. During these scenes, Scott Adkins appears in a small role as the Swimming Pool Fighter. The film’s action was choreographed by Yuen Woo-ping.

Unleashed was filmed in Glasgow, Scotland, and Jet Li also served as executive producer.
