The Furious trailer: pure, uncompromising action
One man against an entire criminal network to save his kidnapped daughter
The first trailer for The Furious immediately makes things clear: no slow builds or irony, but a direct and physical approach that focuses entirely on impact. Kenji Tanigaki's new work moves in a precise direction, recapturing an idea of action cinema where every clash has real weight.
The story follows Wang Wei (Xie Miao), a man who finds himself fighting against a criminal network after his daughter's kidnapping. The absence of a system capable of protecting him quickly transforms the story into a personal journey, made of rage and extreme choices. Joining him is Navin, played by Joe Taslim, a journalist marked by a similar loss.
No less furious than the The Raid duology with Iko Uwais
The trailer heavily emphasizes the solid adrenaline dimension of the clashes: close-quarters combat, intense chases, and direction that avoids chaotic effects to privilege readability and rhythm. It's not just spectacle, but narrative construction through action.
Presented at the Toronto International Film Festival in the Midnight Madness section, the film has already attracted attention for its harsh and uncompromising tone. It will arrive in the United States starting May 29, while international distribution entrusted to Lionsgate strengthens expectations for an Italian release as well.
