Former
X-Files writer
James Wong makes his sophomore feature as a director at the helm of this
science fiction thriller that's 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 doesn't understand why. Hot on the evil
Yulaw's trail are his former partner
Harry Roedecker (
Delroy Lindo) and
Harry's new colleague
Evan Funsch (
Jason Statham). Created with
Wong's longtime writing and producing partner
Glen Morgan,
The One (2001) co-stars
Carla Gugino.
