Furies

It’s more raw, unpolished, and brutal than the former, resulting in an exploration of the darkness that consumes those without the strength or support to move toward the light.

Ngô films it all with style to spare, keeping the focus on the actors’ and stunt performers’ movements while cutting it all together in a kinetic style that matches the pounding electronic score and psychedelic lighting of the first film

I expect a lot of very solid clips to hit the action film fandom to great fanfare, but a feature isn’t just clips, it is the story, the settings, the themes, and the execution that make it work, and this one fails to connect.

A bloody blending of Charlie’s Angels and The Raid, Furies doesn’t pull its punches. It’s brutal when it comes to the portrayal of violence, and the action sequences deliver the bone-crunching sound design that makes action films so satisfying to hear...

[Veronica] Ngo’s action cinema roots are on full display here and Furies feels like a Hong Kong style heroic bloodshed tale, with maximal melodrama to accompany the flying fists and bullet ballet.
