There is not one universe, but there are many, which is a multiverse. Supposing you are just one person, there are many other versions of you in the other universes, there are ways to travel, but only a police agency, MVA, can travel only for police procedures. Gabriel Yulaw is a former MVA agent, who killed another version of himself in self-defense. It made the other versions of him stronger. When Yulaw found out about this, he became power-hungry killing the 122 other versions for two years. After killing Lawless and getting captured by his former partner Roedecker and a new MVA agent Funsch, Yulaw managed to escape the prison and is trying to kill his last target, Gabe Law who is a police officer. He is also at Yulaw's strength. Roedecker and Funsch now have to arrest Yulaw before he can kill Gabe. There is a possibility that the universe could die or make Yulaw invincible. After encountering Yulaw for the first time, Gabe thought that it was his split personality, but it wasn't. Will Gabe be able to confront Yulaw before or after Yulaw ruins his life?
Leave your thoughts about The One.
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertWatching the film, I thought of Michael Powell's great 1960 British thriller "Peeping Tom," which was about a photographer who killed his victims with a stiletto concealed in his camera. Sy uses a psychological stiletto, but he's the same kind of character. |
| Charlotte ObserverLawrence ToppmanThough the writing isn't always specific, Williams is. He differentiates between the murderer in "Insomnia," who wants a cop to understand his motives, and Sy, who realizes no one ever could. |
| New York PostLou LumenickWilliams triumphs by exceeding both in sheer actor's craft - and the depths he plumbs in his character's tortured soul. |
| New Times (L.A.)Luke Y. ThompsonIt begins by scaring you to death by evoking a monster, and by the end it has seduced you into caring for him. |
| SPLICEDWireRob BlackwelderIf popcorn-picture auteur John Carpenter made martial arts flicks, they'd be just like "The One" -- an unabashedly cheesy, B-grade sci-fi amusement park ride. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumIn One Hour Photo, Williams is a snapshot of human complexity worth framing. |
| Baltimore SunChris KaltenbachThe movie isn't as deep as it pretends to be, but it does have several nicely unexpected twists going for it. And it has Williams - memorably creepy, chillingly sad. |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerWilliam ArnoldIt marks an impressive debut for first-time writer-director Mark Romanek, especially considering his background is in music video. His script is uncluttered and potent, and his direction manipulates a devastating climax that ties the photo/voyeuristic theme together very effectively. |
| VarietyTodd McCarthyThis immaculately made first feature from noted musicvid and commercials director Mark Romanek provides Robin Williams with one of his creepiest, atypical roles, and the comic star responds with an unusually restrained performance that is, in the end, quite moving. |
| Rolling StonePeter TraversWilliams gives a performance that is riveting in its recessiveness and, as a consequence, truly, deeply scary. |
