| This is easily director Ronny Yu's best
| |
| | is going through his inner self discovery
|
| film since THE BRIDE WITH WHITE HAIR.
| |
| | at the peaceful idyllic village of women,
|
| He's had success here in the states with
| |
| | who save and heal him from near death, as
|
| BRIDE OF CHUCKY and JASON VS. FREDDY but
| |
| | something just as important in his life
|
| those type of popcorn flicks can in no
| |
| | if not more as everything else that came
|
| way compare to the scope and pathos of
| |
| | before it.
|
| his latest film JET LI'S FEARLESS, the
| |
| | At a running time of just at 103 minutes
|
| true story of Chinese Martial Arts Master
| |
| | the film felt too short. It left me
|
| Huo Yuanjia (Jet Li) who was the founder
| |
| | wanting to see more (which is not
|
| and spititual guru of the Jin Wu Sports
| |
| | common). Yu has never had a problem with

| Federation.
| |
| | pacing in his films and he's always known
|
| With action choreographer Yuen Woo-ping
| |
| | when to get in and get out without too
|
| returning to help Li with some of the
| |
| | much excess.
|
| most amazing fight sequences since HERO,
| |
| | I must also commend Jet Li for a very
|
| this film is anything but non-stop action
| |
| | commanding performance. I'm not a Li fan
|
| (the two previously worked together on
| |
| | but then again most of his output that
|
| FIST OF LEGEND, BLACK MASK, and most
| |
| | I've seen is his American films which for
|
| recently on UNLEASHED). This is not to
| |
| | the exception of UNLEASHED are all
|
| say that fighting is all that there is
| |
| | lacking. I must admit that in his own
|
| because the film is making it a point,
| |
| | language and style his Chinese films all
|
| through Huo Yuanjia's spiritual journey,
| |
| | endure better than his American output
|
| that fighting is not all that there is in
| |
| | and hopefully he'll be given better roles
|
| life. Yu crafts the scenes where Yuanjia
| |
| | in the future.
