The fight scenes are great as usual, but it was the story and direction that ends up making this better than most martial arts films. This project must have meant more to Jet Li than others because he is really into this, and it shows on screen. Not just a paycheck like the movie War, in which Jet Li looks like he could care less.

Long and boring, barely rescued by some impressive fight scenes

Regardless of that obvious hook the film is most certainly right up there with is best work. His performance while not oscar garnering is most certainly better than what most of this genre can expect. The story is simple but is heartfelt and it is far more than just an excuse to dangle some suburb choreography off of.

If this really is Jet Li's last martial arts film as the marketing materials claim, he's going out on top.

Even though Fearless is laced with stunning fight sequences, none of them have lingered in my memory as vividly as Li's face has: His body may begin the story told in Fearless, but his face completes it.

The protagonist's message rings true and its battle sequences prove gripping, but Jet Li's Fearless is both slightly ham-fisted in its efforts to have its individual and political narratives mirror one another.

Director Ronny Yu gets Li to drop his typical reticence and play the part to the hilt, and he capably moves from doting dad to arrogant tough guy to wise and compassionate role model.
