Watch this one for a visual treat
"Sublime, Gorgeous and Action- Packed" - Jamie Bernard, New York Daily News

"Wild riot of color, music, passion, action, mystery, pure old-fashioned thrills and even dancing" - Phil Hall, Film Threat

"A Gorgeous Entertainment, A Feast of Blood, Passion and Silk Brocade" - A.O.Scott, The New York Times

"Forget about the plot, the characters, the intrigue, which are all splendid in House of Flying Daggers, and focus just on the visuals. The film is so good to look at and listen to that, as with some operas, the story is almost beside the point, serving primarily to get us from one spectacular scene to another." - Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun Times

Synopsis : House of Flying Daggers is a 2004 wuxia film directed by Zhang Yimou. It differs from other wuxia films in that it is more of a love story than a straight martial arts film.

The film is set in 859 AD. The once great Tang Dynasty is now in decline. Numerous rebel groups have formed, the largest of which is the House of Flying Daggers, based in Feng Tian county. The Flying Daggers steal from the rich and give to the poor, gaining the support of the locals. A police officer called Leo (Takeshi Kaneshiro) sends officer Jin (Andy Lau) to investigate a young dancer named Mei (Zhang Ziyi), claiming that she has ties to the "Flying Daggers". Leo arrests Mei, only to have Jin breaking her free in a plot to gain her trust and lead the police to the new leader of the secret organization. But things are far more complicated than they seem...
