    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Morgan 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.
    • Goofs
      Set in Glasgow, Scotland. However not a single character in the film has a Scottish accent.
    • Quotes

      Wyeth: That thing with the collar... how did you do that?

      Bart: Like my sainted mum used to say, "Get 'em young, and the possibilities are endless."

      Wyeth: I thought it was the Jesuits who said that.

      Bart: Probably got it from my mum.

    • Alternate versions
      The 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.

    One of the best movies I've seen recently
    This was a breakthrough performance for Jet Li. It was nice to see him get away from just being the amazing fighter, and seeing him in a little bit more of a serious role. Of course Morgan Freeman was simply brilliant, and Bob Hoskins did an amazing job as the villain.

    This movie had a lot less action than I had anticipated, but the story behind it makes it much better than any amount of action/violence could have. The theater was full of people laughing, gasping or being COMPLETELY silent as one. It was the perfect mix of action and comedy within a heartfelt story.

    I recommend this movie to any fan of any movie EVER!
