House of Flying Daggers

House of Flying Daggers ({{zh-cp|c=十面埋伏|p=shí miàn mái fú}}), is a 2004 action/romance movie directed by Zhang Yimou. The Chinese title derives from a Chinese four-character idiom literally meaning "ambush from ten sides", but figuratively meaning "ambush from all sides". The English title, House of Flying Daggers, refers to a secret society (飛刀門) within the film. The film is in the wuxia genre, similar in style to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, or the more recent Warriors of Heaven and Earth.
