UNBEATABLE 2013

Nick Cheung plays a character torn
from his past experiences and as with
most of Lam created characters, they
are genuinely flawed. Playing against
type is what initially garnered Cheung
with multiple Best Actor awards, but
it is his performance here that should
give his acting ability a new
dimension. As master /trainer of Eddie
Peng, Cheung is require to take a back
seat for a prolonged period, but he
did not let that prevent the audience
focus being squarely on him. Eddie
Peng provides good physical presence,
but little is known or shown about his
character and past, apart from his
relationship his former rich dad.
However, Peng excels in most fight
scenes and his portrayal the underdog
role is met with adequate flair. In
addition, Peng is easily a likable
character, but pales in compassion to
the versatility of Cheung.
