“Never touch a tigress that’s guarding her cubs”: A Movie Review of ‘Furie’

If you’re looking for an engaging female-led film that touches on the genres of action, drama, and thriller, look no further than Le-Van Kiet’s "Furie". This tense, heart-pinching, action-packed film leaves you on the edge of your seat-and on the verge of tears.

"Furie" originally titled "Hai Phuong" is a Vietnamese film, which was released by Studio68 in February of 2019 in Vietnam and March 2019 in the United States. The film stars V eronica Ngo as Hai Phuong, Mai Cát Vi as Mai, Hoa Thanh as Thanh Wolf, and Thanh Nhien Phan as Captain Vu Trong Luong.

This film portrays the lengths a mother will go to to protect her children. Hai Phuong is a single mother to her daughter Mai, living in a small town in the countryside of Vietnam. Hai tries hard to make ends meet as a debt collector, using her particular skill set as an ex-gangster. Mai doesn’t hide her disapproving view of her mother’s source of income and insists they can find another way.
