Review of House of Flying Daggers (2004) by Julian H — 05 Jul 2015
I really wanted to love this film, having loved Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon which I'm sure for many in the west was their introduction to the wuxia genre. Sadly I was left feeling this would have worked better as a novel.
Truth is, the way the story is told in this film was rather poor, and key plot twists come and go with diminishing interest, and increasing predictability. It's crying out for a remake: consider this a first draft.
