The Movie
 

Caught up in the violent conflict between beautiful and mysterious Maggie Cheung ("Police Story") and the corrupt forces intent on destroying her, Aaron Kwok ("Saviour of the Soul") stars as the eponymous hero of Johnny To's classic rites-of-passage kung fu drama.

Spectacularly shot, "The Barefoot Kid" features countless displays of the ultimate fight choreography of the '90s, woven into a timeless parable of love, honour and initiation into manhood, to awesome effect.

My Thoughts Movie Ratings

If there were ever any doubters over the ability of Aaron Kwok, then this is the movie that proves he can pull punches with the best of them.  Some of the Kung Fu in The Barefoot Kid is just amazing.
