The dialogue is atrocious, the plotting is goofy, and no one will care because Tanigaki has conceived, choreographed, and executed some of the most impressive fight scenes in years. Go to Full Review

While there are plenty of other great action movies this year, none of them have the fight scenes that this movie does, none of them are this level of full-on, go-totally-wild awesome. Go to Full Review

The plotting isn’t fully successful, but it works where it counts, and delivers the film’s actual point well–a white-knuckled thrill ride sporting some of the best on-screen melee combat in recent memory. It should not be missed. Go to Full Review

The Furious is riveting action. It’s relentless in what it does best. If you’re into that kind of film, this is up your alley. For me, I think I’m a little too over these things. The needless gory bits didn’t help. And that last act was one act too long. Go to Full Review
