(Jet Li’s) Fearless, a “Quickie” Review of the film by Ronnie Yu
by James Gilmore
Jet Li’s Fearless (aka Huo Yuan Jia) is a martial arts action
film told in the old Hong Kong studio style.
While the fight scenes are nothing special in of themselves, watching
Jet Li attempt to act is always a grueling task for even the most die-hard of
his fans. The impressive layered conclusion
is packed with subtext, character and emotion, in spite of the obligatory (and
blatant) pro-Chinese, pro-unity message required to pass government censorship.
