Somebody Up There Likes Me is a rousing, beautifully made boxing movie from John Woo protege Patrick Leung Pak-kin, who it is quite apparent has taken on the attributes of Woo's highly-stylized, frenetic violence. Unlike Woo, however, Pak-kin shuns the moral ambiguity and welcomes a more conventional approach to story, thereby, making way for more honest characters. Ken (Hong Kong heartthrob Aaron Kwok) takes up boxing to impress the sister of a young fighter. Accidentally killing her brother in the ring, Ken takes on the dead man's quest to become champion.
