Film Threat -
Quite simply, House of Flying Daggers is a film that sets several new standards for production and entertainment values. It is a wild riot of color, music, passion, action, mystery, pure old-fashioned thrills and even dancing.

Entertainment Weekly -
An outrageously gorgeous spectacle of balletic aggression. At the same time, it offers something we rarely encounter in a whirling martial-arts extravaganza: a romantic passion that's woven into the very fabric of the action.

The Hollywood Reporter -
A glorious new addition to martial-arts cinema.

Rolling Stone -
Forget "Hero" -- that cult hit was just Zhang Yimou's warm-up for this martial-arts fireball that throws in a lyrical love story, head-spinning fights and dazzling surprises.

Variety -
The tangled tale of love and disguise is awesome in its action sequences but doesn't touch the heart to the same degree.
