    Celluloid editorial verdict

    Critics and audiences are closely aligned on this one.

    What is The Furious about?

    Kenji Tanigaki's lean Japanese actioner follows a retired enforcer pulled back into the underworld when a young courier he once protected is marked for death over a stolen ledger. Xie Miao and Joe Taslim sprint through neon districts, parking garages, and bathhouses in a single night of hand-to-hand combat staged with clarity and moral weight. Tanigaki treats each fight as accounting — debts paid in bruises — and keeps the 100-minute runtime free of CGI bloat. Variety and Collider both flagged the film as the midyear martial-arts surprise that puts Hollywood chase films to shame.
