Jet Li's: Fearless (Huo Yuan Jia) review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 11/28/12
The story of a young and matured Huo Yuanjia (Jet Li). Definitely one of the best fight scenes presented on screen be it with weapons or hand to hand. Best lines that summarizes the film: "The biggest enemy of a person is himself." Another wonderful quote: "One cannot choose how one's life begins. It takes courage to finish the final step." One of Jet Li's best performances, be it in the fight sequences or showing drama and cockiness because of his wushu martial arts. Locations and cinematography was gorgeous while the soundtrack adds to its critical scenes. Minor hindrances were the believability of the fight scenes, which felt like watching The Matrix or Crouching Tiger, though it was aptly displayed from the beginning of the aforementioned films. Fearless is composed of pure emotion and spectacular action scenes but also touches on subjects of being humble, respect and love of country.
