House of Flying Daggers
(2004)
Directed by Zhang
Yimou this Chinese film stars Zhang Ziyi, Andy Lau and Takeshi
Kaneshiro. China, 859 AD a policeman goes undercover to infiltrate a
group that robs from the rich to give to the poor.
Right from the get go
this film looks stunning and has some outstanding use of colour.
Visually this film is amazing and the forest locations are exception
as well. Where the film is a little more pedestrian is in it's plot
which while has nothing wrong with it does little to stand out and is
maybe a little over reliant on action sequences until the late twist
reveals.
4/5
