This is an action movie, and people don't come to be preached to; the "Terminator" flicks also favored world peace but didn't pause the action for nearly an hour to rub it in.

What are critics saying?
Manages to pack a satisfying emotional punch.
New York Daily News by Elizabeth Weitzman
Li's performance is stronger here than it has been in previous films.
It's as subtle as a spinning kick, but some films aren't built for subtlety.
Chicago Tribune by Michael Wilmington
One of those corny, lusciously mounted, almost predictably thrill-packed action movies you can't help but like.
The New York Times by Nathan Lee
Fearless sustains the tradition of ethically inflected Chinese action movies.
Washington Post by Stephen Hunter
It's handsome, well-populated and offers beautiful scenery and settings. But "House of Flying Daggers" it ain't; maybe "House of Fallen Arches"?
Seattle Post-Intelligencer by William Arnold
As the very traditional hero, Li keeps us riveted through the fisticuffs, and he also carries off the film's heavier dramatic moments well enough -- though, as always, his lack of a strong personality prevents the movie from ever genuinely catching fire.
