All Guild Reviews of The Furious
Kenji Tanigaki delivers a taut actioner
The superbly choreographed action scenes are staged everywhere from the backside of a pickup truck to an ice factory to a wrestling venue to even under sliding desks at a police station.
Hell hath no fury like a father scorned in The Furious – certainly not fury as taut, economical and razor-sharp as this film. Presumably, hell also involves a lot more chit-chat. The Furious dispenses with dialogue too; why waste your breath when you will need every ounce for the next tackle? A much-celebrated action choreographer, director Kenji Tanigaki knows that all he needs is a skeletal story with an emotional tug (in this case, kidnapped children) to set his two action stars, Miao Xe as Wang, and Joe Taslim as Navin, on a mission. Once that machine starts, it barely takes a pause.
