This is the
breathtaking true story of a vain fighter, Huo Shoujin, who vacillates
from a philosophy of "total domination through the fist" to
"martial arts as a means of self-betterment" directed by Ronny
Yu (of BRIDE WITH WHITE HAIR fame). Even though the grandson of Huo Shoujin
has sued Jet Li, Ronny Yu and the production company (he claims the film
dishonors the life of the notorious fighter), this is Jet Li's best movie
in years.
