Fearless (2006) Review: Jet Li's Lesson in Humility

Fearless is Ronny Yu's martial arts biopic of Huo Yuanjia, with Jet Li as a champion who must learn humility before he can fight for something bigger than pride.

Yes. It is one of Jet Li's finest martial arts films, ideal for kung fu fans who can accept a blunt patriotic streak and a slower middle stretch.
