Review of Fearless (2006) by Paolo O — 17 Aug 2008
Jet Li's final epic 100% martial arts movie.
This film tells the story of Huo Yuanjia, an incredible guy who learned some really hard lessons. As a boy his father will not let him take part in the martial arts school he runs from his home, but the Huo decides to pratice in secret following the taunts of a rival kid in the area, whos father also runs a martial arts school. As he grows up, his skills become brilliant and his arrogance soons gets the better of him after he learns there is no-one who can defeat him. This in turn costs him his daughter and fathers life and Huo's life becomes shattered with heartache and revenge. Set in the 1800's, Huo comes back to his home to defend the people of China from the horrid englishmen and Japanese 'suits' who use a tournament as an excuse to belittle the chinese people.
Great movie with lots of cool action scenes and stunts. Powerful story too.
