As a seasoned action movie enthusiast with a soft spot for adrenaline-fueled flicks and a penchant for the art of martial arts, I can confidently say that “The Furious” is shaping up to be the pièce de résistance of my cinematic dreams. The tantalizing blend of Liam Neeson’s relentless pursuit in “Taken” with the unparalleled brutality of Gareth Evans’ “The Raid” has me absolutely giddy at the prospect of what Tanigaki Kenji will bring to the table.
A highly anticipated action thriller, reminiscent of a fusion between Liam Neeson’s acclaimed film “Taken” (2008) and Gareth Evans’ “The Raid,” promises to be the long-awaited action movie for enthusiasts. Featuring an impressive ensemble of martial arts performers, renowned for their action movie expertise, a director known for his daring stunts, and a compelling narrative that leaves no room for subtlety, this film is expected to deliver fast-paced and intense action sequences.
As a follower, I’m excited to share that a new action-packed adventure titled “The Furious” is coming our way, directed by the talented Tanigaki Kenji. Known for his impressive stunt work in movies like Donnie Yen’s “Raging Fire,” the G.I. Joe spin-off “Snake Eyes,” and this year’s martial arts sensation “Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In,” Tanigaki is set to deliver another thrilling experience. Dive into the synopsis for “The Furious” below, provided by Variety:
As I sat down to watch this gripping movie, I found myself engrossed in the tale penned by Mak Tin Shu. The story follows a resilient tradesman, skillfully played by Xie Miao, who hails from the mainland. This ordinary man finds himself thrust into an intricate maze of criminals and malevolent forces in a desperate bid to rescue his kidnapped daughter. His determination is unyielding, leading him to employ any means possible to achieve this goal.
The Furious Could Land on Netflix or Another Streamer
In a powerful fusion of action-packed films like Bryan Mills’ relentless pursuit in Taken and Iko Uwais’ brutal survival as police officer Rama in The Raid and its sequel, The Furious will combine these movies into an unstoppable action movie powerhouse. The Furious is the latest production of Bill Kong, renowned for his critically acclaimed martial arts epics such as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Hero. To make things even more exciting, the movie boasts an impressive cast of actors and fighters, including (The Raid, Mortal Kombat), Jeeja Yanin (Chocolate, Triple Threat), Yang Enyu (Eye for an Eye 2), Brian Le (The Brothers Sun), Joey Iwanaga (Rurouni Kenshin: Final Chapter Part I – The Final), and Yayan Ruhian (The Raid, The Raid 2)).
Kong hinted at the thrilling conclusion of “The Furious,” stating that the last 15-20 minutes of the film are packed with intense action. Speaking to Variety, he shared:
Instead, “Including dramatic moments during battles is important for giving the audience a chance to catch their breath and empathize with the characters. I don’t think I could ever be a director.
If we fall short, ‘The Furious’ may not surpass the impact of ‘The Raid’ or ‘Taken.’ Our goal is to create characters that inspire and touch the audience.
Currently, the action movie “The Furious” hasn’t been assigned a release date or distributor yet. Co-producer Todd Brown and XYZ Films (known for producing “The Raid”, “The Night Comes for Us”, and “Headshot”) have mentioned to Variety that they will hold a meeting with potential buyers in Toronto. Streaming services like Netflix, among others, are invited. Brown also stated that while they aim for a theatrical release, they’ve set a price for the film if a streaming platform is eager to acquire it. The studio that gets their hands on this action movie gem will undoubtedly have acquired a masterpiece.
