House of Flying Daggers (China/Hong Kong, 2004)

During the reign of the Tang dynasty in China, a secret organization called "The House of the Flying Daggers" rises and opposes the government. A police officer called Leo sends officer Jin to investigate a young dancer named Mei, claiming that she has ties to the "Flying Daggers". Leo arrests Mei, only to have Jin breaking her free in a plot to gain her trust and lead the police to the new leader of the secret organization. But things are far more complicated than they seem...

House of Flying Daggers is yet another visual masterpiece by director Zhang Yimou (Raise the Red Lantern, Hero) and is most definitely one of those movies you need to see at least once in your life. Beautiful action sequences is the name of the game and the film is filled with gorgeous cinematography as you would expect from the aforementioned director. 

Seriously cool and stylistic. 

Genre: Action/Adventure/Drama
