House of Flying Daggers wasn't as good as some other martial arts films like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon but it was still a beautifully made film. The first half was just okay, but the second half was excellent, with some breathtaking fight scenes. The climax in the snow is great and brilliantly staged but pretty violent and bloody. Parents should be cautious letting their kids watch this, there is some bloody violence and a couple of sexual scenes.
