The Hong Kong action movie titled The Furious, directed by the renowned Kenji Tanigaki, has captured the attention of both the public and critics by receiving praise at various film festivals.

Scheduled for release on May 12, 2026, in the U.S., this production promises to become a benchmark within the action genre, especially for those looking for alternatives after the latest installment of the John Wick saga.

A John Wick in the style of Hong Kong

The plot of The Furious centers on a father who is forced to embark on a dangerous mission to rescue his daughter, who has been kidnapped by mobsters intending to trade her on the black market.

Although the premise may seem simple, the trailers showcase a cinematic experience that combines high-quality martial arts choreography with thrilling action, characteristics that have defined Tanigaki’s style throughout his career.

Tanigaki has been acclaimed for his work in films such as the live-action adaptation of Rurouni Kenshin and for his collaboration with the renowned actor Donnie Yen. With The Furious, the director is expected to surprise the audience once again, establishing himself as one of the pillars of the contemporary action cinema renaissance.

Despite the fact that many John Wick fans feel disappointed by the lack of sequels that match the craziness of the famous assassin, The Furious presents itself as a potential option that could satisfy that thirst for intense and stylized action. The film has already generated growing anticipation, especially among action movie lovers, who see in this production a possibility to relive the adrenaline and excitement that characterizes this genre.
