‘The Furious’ Trailer (not Vin Diesel) In Theaters 6/11

While the plot does seem to rely heavily on the importance of family, this is in no way related to the Fast and Furious franchise.

This is a Chinese, English-language martial arts movie that opens today and is getting rave reviews. 100% RT (critic) after 60 reviews. A significant amount of reviews are comparing it to The Raid and The Raid 2, which is among the highest praise an action movie can get. It isn’t playing at any Regals close to me, so I expect it’s a somewhat limited theatrical release.
