Every few years, an Asian action film blows its American counterparts out of the water.

In 2026, that standout is The Furious.

Following in the footsteps of https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-villainess-inside-the-most-kickass-action-movie-of-the-year/" rel="">The Villainess (2017), The Night Comes for Us (2018), https://www.thedailybeast.com/obsessed/netflixs-the-carter-makes-the-gray-man-look-like-childs-play/?source=email&via=desktop" rel="">The Carter (2022), and https://www.thedailybeast.com/obsessed/kill-review-the-best-action-movie-of-the-summer/" rel="">Kill (2024), Kenji Tanigaki’s Hong Kong beat-‘em-up is an over-the-top marvel, delivering a jaw-dropping barrage of brutality that’s as expertly choreographed as it is nasty.

Exhilarating to the point of breathlessness, this Hong Kong import (whose dialogue is primarily in English) is the summer’s must-see for anyone with a taste for ferocious pandemonium.
