Ip Man (2008, Movie) The Legend of Yip Man (葉問)

With the exception of the depiction of the Wing Chun style (詠春拳), you won't see elements of this film that are completely unique; rather, it's the mash-up of cinematographic techniques and the genre-crossing story-telling that come together to make it a new experience.

Sammo Hung (洪金寶) has choreographed some of the best action in years, during every fight I was slack-jawed with amazement. Donnie Yen (甄子丹) makes delivering a beat down look as effortless as swatting a fly.
