 The Story in a Nutshell

 In Summary

 It's rare that you find a martial arts film with such strong action scenes and such a strong storyline together, but the  director Zhang has found exactly that with this martial arts masterpiece.

 The action sequences in this film are simply breathtaking. With stunning landscapes and physics-defying Kung Fu,  every fight sequence is as good as the last.

 The storyline is also very engaging, keeping the viewer occupied whilst they wait for the next fight scene (which is  rare in a martial arts film). There are enough plot twists and love triangles in House of Flying Daggers to keep you  busy until another incredible fight sequence comes along. 

 In short this is a fantastic film and should be seen by all who love martial arts films, and even by those who don't.
