Fearless sustains the tradition of ethically inflected Chinese action movies.

The Hollywood Reporter
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.

For Families provided by Common Sense Media

Iffy for 12+

Jet Li's final fight; teens OK.

What Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that this is an action movie with nothing but fighting and killing. There are also a couple of deaths that could be upsetting to younger kids. There is some drinking in bars and some diva-like behavior, but there are also uplifting messages about humility and honor.

Families can talk about the consequences of physical violence, the nature of humility, and the topics of national honor.

The good stuff

Messages: Although there's lots of violence, ultimately the movie is about overcoming violence.

What to watch for

Violence: Characters are injured and killed. Intense martial arts.
Sex: Not an issue
Language: Brief strong language, but nothing too bad.
Consumerism: Not an issue
Drinking, drugs and smoking: Some drinking and bar scenes.
