YesAsia Editorial Description

Prepare yourself for House of Flying Daggers, the latest martial arts epic from acclaimed director Zhang Yimou, who stunned audiences worldwide with Hero. How does love exist in a world where no one can be trusted and ambush is coming from all sides? Towards the end of the Tang dynasty, the government is rife with corruption, and many secret societies have been formed to challenge the Emperor's waning rule. Of all the rebel groups, the most powerful is the House of Flying Daggers. The government assigns Feng Tian County's top captains Leo (Andy Lau) and Jin (Takeshi Kaneshiro) to capture the new leader within 10 days.

Leo suspects that Mei (Zhang Ziyi), the beautiful new dancer at the Peony Pavilion, is the daughter of the leader of the House of Flying Daggers. To ferret out their secret headquarters, Leo orders Jin to disguise himself as a warrior named Wind to rescue Mei and earn her trust. But as Jin and Mei spend more time together, their feelings and desire for one another grow. However, danger is lurking on all sides - and can the love between Jin and Mei be real when both sides are keeping secrets from one another?

Screened at prestigious film festivals like Cannes and Toronto, House of Flying Daggers earned widespread critical acclaim, as well as commercial success in Asia. The three actors, all acclaimed in the international arena, give stunning performances as warriors torn between love and duty. Ching Siu-Tung, fresh off his acclaimed work on Hero, brings his trademark action choreography to House of Flying Daggers for many memorable action scenes, including a stunning sequence in a bamboo forest. Zhang Yimou is the rare Chinese director who has managed to achieve both critical and mainstream success, and House of Flying Daggers is further evidence of the master's filmmaking genius!

Strangely Intriguing O.o Customer Review Rated Bad 6 - 6 out of 10
This movie seemed all-over-the-place to me, but yet I enjoyed it regardless. Some of the acting was pretty bad in parts but the visuals were beautiful and interesting. Once I started watching it, for some reason, I was drawn into the complicated storyline and characters. Zhang Ziyi is a very simple and plain-looking girl but is a pretty good actress some of the time. The ending is beautiful but sad in its way. While I do find this movie often forgettable compared to better Chinese action/romances, it didn't give me that "i can't believe i wasted 2 hours of my life on this!" feeling. I thought the sexual parts brought down the quality of the movie not to mention they were kind of funny and odd!! O.o Anyyyyyyyyywaaay! It's a fair movie, but nothing I'd watch more than 2 times or recommend to someone looking for a good Asian film. O.O nuh-uh.

Visual Poetry Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
This is my favourite film in the world. Yes, ive read that some people think the story is weak, that the ending is melodramatic etc, etc. I couldnt care less. This film will fill up your senses with its beautiful use of colour (the costumes, sets and out-door scenery is the best my eyes have ever experienced on film), music (the soundtrack is superb) and the particularly spectacular action scenes. This film to me is visual poetry...I went through every emotion possible with this drama and have watched it time and time again and still feel the same about it. Yi Mou Zhang is a genius as far as I am concerned. I cannot wait for his next offering. The lead actors are gorgeous and credible and if film is there to make you really FEEL, feel I most certainly did.

so so Customer Review Rated Bad 5 - 5 out of 10
The movie was visual and gorgeous...but the story line was awful. It was far too predictable, you could tell what was going to happen, and who was going to kill who. I also felt that falling in love in three days is laughably fake. It took a lot away from the believeability of the film, and added a callow, childish element to it. I did like the scenes and outfits of the movie too, though. The movie could have been much better. Also, the kissing scenes were pretty bad. It looks like it was agonizing for them to kiss each other! If its that bad, dont do it!

Like Ziyi, only 'cause of her beauty, not for perf Customer Review Rated Bad 7 - 7 out of 10
I like Zhang ziyi, only because of her beauty, absolutely not for her performance.

Her role in Croaching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was remarable, but it seems that she has got no performance progress since then.
Her face, as recorgnized by almost everyone, shows signs of stubborn, that’s all, but no expression of inner feelings, especially in some complicated circumstances. That’s why I am quite disappointed with her roles in some films including House of Flying Daggers.
I have a feeling that she has been offered some roles which are far beyond her performance ability.

Anyway, I insist on her attractive beauty. I am looking forward a break-through from Zi Yi, or at least a better change in her performance in the near future
