A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

I like the storyline. I love the Chinese elements in it. Its surprising romance touched me. The ending a bit disappointing. I don't see that man is so bad if he wants to find out the truth that who kill the parents. I think the selection of supporting actors could be better and wiser.Anyway it's different from other Kong FU movies. I don't like watch Kong Fu movies just for empty fighting.But there is meaning in this Kong fu movie. I like when they kiss, dance around the poles, writing poems. It does not remind me it's a kong fu movie. Anyway I will watch certain parts again and again. I think the storyline should be changed that I don't think that man should be described as lier and end the romance in a tragic way

Usually in martial arts films, there is a weak plot supporting strong fight scenes; in "Twin Daggers", it's the other way around. The fight scenes, although they have their moments here and there, are spoiled by too many gimmicks, MATRIX ripoffs, freeze frames, speeding up, silly wirework, stunt doubling, etc. The characters themselves are colorful enough (especially "The Body", a bodacious female assassin with blades hidden in her boots, and "The Ghost", a sort of trickster/clown who prefers laughing to talking), but they are poorly served by the film's action sequences. What works much better is the plot, which manages to stay ahead of the viewer all the way and contains several surprising twists. There is perhaps one instance of cheating, but only if you can't accept the possibility that two events shown in parallel time don't necessarily have to be happening at the same time. This surprising script was deserving of better choreography, editing and production values in general. ** out of 4.

This was the dumbest movie I have ever had the misfortune of renting. EVER.If I had the chance I wouldn't even have paid the dollar I did to rent this atrocity. The acting, aside from a decent lead performance from 'Scholar', was so wooden and amateur it was worse acting than 'performances' from below-average, camera-loving, wannabe porn stars. The actress who played 'Body' seemed like she must have starred in many of these bad porn movies herself.Let's not forget the assassin character that paints his face like a mime, waves his hands by his face, and giggles during his 'fight' scenes. What the hell? Extras looked terrified of him. I think my little frame could've easily kicked his derrière. Probably just by chasing him away with a broom...The plot was actually a very interesting concept itself, but this execution was so idiotic I couldn't possibly recommend this in any way to another soul without feeling like I was doing something evil to that person.I would have had a better time if I sat in a chair and stared at the wall for an hour and twenty minutes.Seriously please please save your time and money and avoid this thing like the plague!

In 1935 LA four "problem solvers" are hired by a woman to kill her sister in China and given 100 grand each to do it. Complications arise when one of them falls in love with the woman.Good throw back to a 1980's American martial arts film that manages to keep you interested thanks to some good performances, good action and a number of twists and turns that keep it out of the typical by the numbers rut. Of course you know that there is more to the plot than meets the eye, some of which results in twists you may not see coming. (and some of which you can). Its the sort of thing that would have played on 42nd street 25 years ago and pleased its inhabitants.I really liked the film and had I not been watching this at midnight would have wandered off to the Kitchen to get some popcorn and a large soda. Is it the be all and end all, no. It is however a really solid action exploitation film that you can put on and let wash over you with out worrying that your brain has been eaten.6.5 out of 10
