‘The Furious’ – New Images Hint at the Fury of the Upcoming Martial Arts Film
If you aren’t already excited for Lionsgate’s ultra-violent martial arts film, The Furious, you should be. It has already drawn comparisons to The Raid. Having seen it, I support those comparisons. To get you more pumped, ScreenRant has dropped a couple new images for the film teasing the action to come.
“When Wang Wei’s young daughter is abducted by a ruthless criminal network, he turns to local authorities for help — only to be met with corruption and indifference. With no other options, Wei takes matters into his own hands, embarking on a relentless and violent mission to rescue her. Along the way, he forms an uneasy alliance with Navin, a determined journalist searching for his own missing wife. Together, the two men plunge into a brutal underworld, unleashing a relentless assault against the kidnappers in a high-stakes martial arts battle fueled by vengeance.”
Rated R for “strong bloody violence and language,” believe me when I say the film delivers everything it promises.
The Furious stars Xie Miao as Wang Wei, alongside Joe Taslim, Yang Enyou, Brian Le, and Joey Iwanaga.
Directed by Kenji Tanigaki, the film is written by Mak Tin Shu, Lei Zhilong, Shum Kwan Sin, and Frank Hui, and is based on a character originally created by David Morrell. Producers include Bill Kong, Shan Tam, and Frank Hui.
The Furious punches into theaters on June 12th.
