Critics Consensus

Fearless is a brilliantly choreographed, beautifully filmed endcap to Li's quarter decade of epic martial arts glory.

It takes time for the film to bounce back to the heights of its opening scene, but about midway it does.

Rated: B

Entertainment Weekly

Every so often there is a hand-to-hand fight scene to cut the boredom -- the best is set atop a precipitously high wooden tower in a village square -- but even these don't set themselves apart from anything we've seen before.

Rated: C

A bad movie that doesn't even work as entertainment. [Full Review in Spanish]

ComingSoon.net

Part bio-pic, part wuxia, Fearless melds the best of both genres and in the process makes something greater than the sum of its parts, commenting both on its genre and human nature in general, both as they are now and what they could aspire to be.

Rated: 7/10
