Critics' reviews

"Much of the film's virtue lies in its straight-ahead narrative and uncomplicated morality. That and the undeniable charisma and virtuosity of its star."

Chris Kaltenbach: Baltimore Sun
"Manages to pack a satisfying emotional punch"

Derek Elley: Variety
"Contrary to some reports, this is not Jet Li's last action movie--he already has another in postproduction--but it represents his farewell to wushu, the martial-arts tradition that made him an international star."

J.R. Jones: Chicago Reader
"It's as subtle as a spinning kick, but some films aren't built for subtlety."

Keith Phipps: AV Club
"An enjoyable but flawed attempt at an epic story, with too much of the best action concentrated in the beginning."

Peter Hartlaub: SFgate
"Witty choreography juices the pedestrian plot of Fearless, an earnest and technically accomplished biopic in which action star Jet Li flexes his limited dramatic muscles to portray kung fu master Huo Yuanjia."

The Hollywood Reporter
"One of those corny, lusciously mounted, almost predictably thrill-packed action movies you can't help but like."

Michael Wilmington: Chicago Tribune
"Billed as Li's final martial arts epic (would that Jackie Chan be so thoughtful), Fearless is fittingly peripatetic, finding the Hong Kong superstar ricocheting across the screen."

Marc Savlov: Austin Chronicle
