The blistering and highly anticipated pan-Asian martial arts spectacular, The Furious, delivers a ruthlessly intense, bone-breaking thriller narrative that acts as a visceral throwback to the raw kinetic energy of The Raid. The film brings together an elite international creative powerhouse, with renowned martial arts choreographer Kenji Tanigaki directing the high-octane carnage from the helm. The plot is set against the grim backdrop of a shadowy, corrupt Southeast Asian criminal underworld, where an underground child-trafficking network operates with absolute impunity. The story follows a quiet, unassuming father who is thrust into a desperate race against time when his fiercely loved young daughter, Rainy, is suddenly abducted by the syndicates.
The explosive violence is set into motion when the corrupt local police refuse to help, forcing the distraught father onto a relentless path of absolute devastation to retrieve his child. Xie Miao and Joe Taslim portray the main characters leading the frantic, bloody fight to tear their way up the criminal food chain. Xie Miao anchors the film as Wang Wei, a mute father who unleashes a barrage of lethal, hand-to-hand combat against anyone standing in his way, while Joe Taslim plays Navin, a fierce journalist hunting for his own missing wife who became a target of the very same syndicate. Their brutal journey forces them to collide with a series of cartoonishly sadistic henchmen, portrayed by martial arts icons Yayan Ruhian, JeeJa Yanin, and Brian Le. Director Tanigaki has delivered a film that is bigger, faster, and infinitely more ferocious, blending frantic camerawork with everyday weaponry like hammers and bicycles to keep the adrenaline moving at full throttle from the very first strike.
