Former X-Files writer James Wong makes his sophomore feature as a director at the helm of this science fiction hriller thats reminiscent of Timecop (1994). In the near future, a technology called quantum tunneling allows human beings to travel between parallel universes. The abuse of this ability by criminal elements has led to the formation of the Multi-Verse Authorities or MVA, an agency of quantum traveling cops who apprehend violators of inter-dimensional laws. The MVA faces its greatest crisis when a former agent named Gabriel Yulaw (Jet Li) goes renegade, traveling between one universe and the next, murdering his own parallel selves and gaining enormous power with each slaying. It is believed that when Yulaw has become the one, the only version of himself to exist, he will be omnipotent, but the final Gabriel Yulaw exists in our plane of existence (the magna universe) and is also becoming stronger, though he doesnt understand why. Hot on the evil Yulaws trail are his former partner Harry Roedecker (Delroy Lindo) and Harrys new colleague Evan Funsch (Jason Statham). Created with Wongs longtime writing and producing partner Glen Morgan, The One (2001) co-stars Carla Gugino. ~ Karl Williams, All Movie Guide
