Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMorgan Freeman's character Sam was at first not blind at all. After hearing from a piano school for the blind (with a very high reputation, and where the scholars developed their hearing), Freeman had the idea of making his character blind because like this it is easier for Sam to "see" the child in Jet Li's character, and not the brutal killer.
- GoofsSet in Glasgow, Scotland. However not a single character in the film has a Scottish accent.
- Quotes
Bart: I tell you, I feel really good here. And I feel generous. Danny, what do you want?
Danny: A piano.
Bart: Excuse me?
Danny: I want a piano.
Bart: A piano? Oh yeah. How about a lobster dinner?
Danny: I want a piano.
Bart: How about a woman? You've never had a woman.
Danny: I want a piano.
Bart: Danny, you're starting to piss me off.
Danny: I want a piano.
Bart: [laughs] That's what I love about you, Danny. One thought at a time.
- Alternate versionsThe Europa Ultimate Edition of the film contains deleted scenes like:
- 1) Danny admits to Sam that he 'hurts people'.
- 2) An incomplete fight-sequence at a indoor car park.
- 3) A 3D track shot inside the piano
- ..and also U.S version scenes include:
- 1) A longer montage of Bart taking Danny throughout Glasgow to collect money.
- 2) Alternate ending: instead of ending with a close-up of Danny, it simply ends with the piano crawl.

It's obvious that the production team of Luc Besson's has a larger budget to work with. And they are exploring ways to tell an action story. Transporter 1 was better than 2 because of the soundtrack. And here again the music compliments the emotional content.
Granted, some of the characters and scenes did appear amateurish, but the pieces are being put together. If the production team keep going, they'll strike the right chord.
And yes, Jet Li is beginning to evolve as an actor, which I suspected after watching Lethal Weapon 4 again. He's the best thing in that movie.
However, this movie does require an appreciation for the medium and not just a need for escapism.
