TRAGIC TRIANGLE

Today's Kaneshiro film was

Shi mian mai fu / House of Flying Daggers (2004)

I have seen this before. Gave it 5 stars the first time.

It is "new" martial arts with the flying, slow motion and terrific effects. But the core of it is the superb acting by Takeshi Kaneshiro, Andy Lau and Ziyi Zhang.

There are plots and counter plots, agents and double agents and plenty of action beautifully filmed in spectacular locations.

What is not to like.

Still a 5 out of Netflix5.
