‘The Furious’ Images Highlight the Most Badass, Incredibly Violent Action Movie of the Year

Lionsgate is king of the brutal action flicks, and the studio behind John Wick is bringing the hammer down with The Furious, an ultra-violent, extremely bloody masterclass that has critics celebrating it as the best action movie in years.

The premise is simple: a little girl is kidnapped, and the father is god damn furious. You know the saying, a father’s scorn knows no bounds.

Dread Central has a stack of new images from the flick, kicking into theaters this June.

“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 Furious breaks some bones in theaters on June 12.
