A semi biographical story of a master of Wing Chun and master to Bruce Lee. Okay, the Bruce Lee bit is a hook and while historically accurate, the only part of the movie Bruce Lee is portrayed in is a rather shameless scene at the end of an otherwise nearly flawless movie. I'm very happy with the direction Kung Fu movies have been taking over the last decade or so by showing the heart, soul and honor of Chinese martial arts. This is very comparable to Fearless (2006) and just as enjoyable to watch. There are some over the top theatrics to be sure but this is more than offset with the persona of a man who is truly at one with himself. Its a shame Bruce Lee isn't around to see what fruit his seed has produced. Highly Recommended.
