Unleashed (aka Danny the Dog)
Starring: Jet Li (Danny), Morgan Freeman (Sam), Bob Hoskins (Bart), Kerry Condon (Victoria), Vincent Regan (Raffles), Dylan Brown (Lefty), Tamer Hassan (Georgie)
Danny escapes Bart’s clutches during an execution attempt on Bart by his enemies. He is taken in by Sam and his stepdaughter, Victoria. They treat him kindly, and he soon learns what a family is. One day, one of Bart’s men sees Danny and orders him to return to Bart otherwise he will kill Sam and Victoria. Danny goes back to Bart, but refuses to fight or kill on demand again. He also starts asking Bart about his mother as he found pictures of her and has faint memories of her. Bart tells him she was a whore. Later, Danny purposely causes Bart’s car to crash, and he escapes back to Sam’s place. Sam helps him find out info about Danny’s mother. Turns out she was a gifted pianist and was a student in a prestigous music school. The last song Danny remembered her playing when he was a child was a Mozart piece. When Victoria plays it for him, he suddenly remembers what happened to her. Turns out Bart murdered her after she rejected his advances (he must’ve been financing her music schooling, so she had to “pay” him back). Bart and his goons show up, and Danny fights them all. When Danny confronts Bart, he nearly kills him, but Sam convinces him not to, saying he’s better than that. Bart continues to taunt Danny until Sam knocks him unconscious. Time passes, we see Sam and Danny (dressed in a tuxedo) attending Victoria’s piano recital. She plays the Mozart piece (same one Danny’s mother played) for Danny.
