House of Flying Daggers is a Chinese movie, full or martial arts, big jumps, nice karate, nice weapon management. The story is quite strange and during the movie I got lost a lot of times. I am not sure if this was the director idea, but it is quite well done. Unfortunately, nobody can be perfect and there are a few points that are not coherent in the story if we think about what happened before. The story differentiates about true love and just possession. Thus, while being cataloged as an action and adventure movie, I would prefer to call it in the first place a romantic and drama movie. Having such extremes (action and drama) makes that some non-action moments seem too long. But the director, instead of cutting a little on these moments extended them. A nice movie.
