House of Flying Daggers,
unexpectedly, stands, if not the best, among the best Asian movies produced
over the last several years. It’s a triangle love story that, for once, can
tell its story without scene after scene of sex and nudity. While there are
some graphic scenes, they are not overdone. A refreshing film to watch. The two male love interests Leo (Andy Lau) and Jin (Takeshi
Kaneshiro) become entangled with lovely female Xiao Mei (Zhang Ziyi). Xiao Mei
belongs to the deadly Flying Dagger gang. Wait for the 180-degree turns at the
end of the movie. Well scripted to the end, the timing is perfect, scenes
outstanding, and action superb.
