"Fist Power" could have been a very entertaining movie, maybe even a great action flick. Instead we get an annoyingly trite piece of filmmaking. You have a great martial artist in Zhao Wen-Zhou and the solid character actor Anthony Wong featured, but the camera work is purely amateurish at best. Action director Ma Yuk Shing did a laudable job. You can tell that the moves were there, if only the camera pulled back to allow the action to be seen and appreciated. Most of the fight scenes were filmed in tight; facial getsures and flailing arms or legs but no sense of excitement at all, only a claustrophic feel. Just imagine Fred Astaire filmed only from the waist up. When the camera was too close to the action, you lost all interest, and when the camera moved too much, especially in the car chase scene, nausea set in. Ultimately the responsibility of the entire production falls into the hands of director, Aman Chang. It appears that Aman wasn't confident enough in his material and had to spice it up with cliche dramatic effects like the camera movement, which served only to detract from the action. In the final fight scenes, some of the action was viewable as the camera was placed further from the actors (too little, too late). But by that point, you give up, having been frustrated by the poor blocking from the movie's onset.
