Final Thoughts
If you have Netflix or if there is a Foreign movie vendor in your local mall this movie IS A MUST SEE. If you enjoy watching martial arts films this is the cherry on top of the BEST Sundae EVER. The hostile historical backdrop evokes just the right amount of sympathy without being too overbearing. I applaud the director; he masterfully blended bone crunching action, with a sprinkle of drama, topped with stellar performances from the lead actor (Donnie Yen). If you are not a fan of ‘kick up’ flicks I guarantee that after seeing Ip Man your interest in this genre will be peaked and/or you will probably threaten or at least attempt [and fail miserably] to use the moves in this film on somebody....its a lot harder to replicate than it looks... and yes I am talking from experience!
