Review of Fearless (2006) by Daniel D — 17 Oct 2012
Not quite sure how I feel about the Michelle Yeoh subplot, but the rest of the DC of Fearless is amazing. The fight sequence in the restaurant is just stunning; everything from the use of space, props, lighting and choreography is masterful. I'd argue that Jet Li has never looked better; his form is flawless, and he harnesses so much power.
The fights in this movie look and sound like they are painful and brutal - the film captures the brutality of wushu combat over and above the elegance of the of movement. And what's more, the film counter-balances the brutality with the middle portion of the film, which is quiet and meditative.
It is definitely somewhere on my top 100 now. Really glad I watched it again.
