FEARLESS


Based on the life of Martial Artsmaster Huo Yuanjia (1868-1910), this biopic is set during the late 1800's to early 1900's, a pivotal period in China's history, when the whole country is shrouded under increasing internal turmoil and the imminent threat of foreign invasion. Huo Yuanjia begins the story as a cocky, young Martial Arts practitioner with only one thing in his mind, to become the best at his craft at all costs. His quest eventually leads to a tragedy when he mistakenly kills an opponent whose disciples consequently slaughter Huo's whole family for revenge.

Just got back home after watching this film with my cousins and I MUST SAY its definitely worth every single cent..!! Every fighting scene are choreographed perfectly, Jet Li may look cocky at first but u will still love him..haha..though many of us have seen many action flicks in the past but this will stun u totally..Aiya, just go and watch it and u will be moved by its last scene (the fighting tournament)..in fact, i was trying HARD to hold back my tears.
So remember to prepare a packet of tissue with you during the show..

Anyway, Two thumbs up for this move. As he has mention, since its gonna be his last martial arts film, he wanna make it a gd one. I guess he has met his own expectations and so are d viewers'. sigh..i'm just gonna miss him..& his huang fei-hong series.
( 5/5 stars )
