Summer 2026 is shaping up to be a memorable season for movies. While big-budget franchise films are struggling a bit in theaters, smaller, unique genre films are surprisingly doing very well. In fact, the first Star Wars movie in years, starring a beloved character, has already fallen out of the top five highest-grossing films, overtaken by a movie based on an Australian online cartoon.
These films aren’t just successful at the box office – they’re also receiving fantastic reviews. The newest action movie, highly anticipated by fans, is proving to be everything they hoped for, according to critics.
The Furious Debuts With A Perfect Score On Rotten Tomatoes
According to Rotten Tomatoes, the new action film The Furious has debuted with, and is still holding (at the time of writing this) a perfect 100% critics’ score. That’s a truly impressive achievement, too: The Furious has been screening for critics since last fall, when it made its debut on the festival circuit at TIFF (Toronto International Film Festival).
The very first early screenings resulted in similarly glowing reviews of The Furious. At the time, Roger Ebert critic Brian Tallerico wrote in his review that “The plotting of The Furious is just silly, and the dialogue sounds so poorly delivered at times that I first presumed it was dubbed, but none of that matters when this movie is in action mode. And it’s no exaggeration to say that roughly 3/4s of the film’s runtime consists of fighting. Not only is the action well-directed and choreographed—reminding one how great it is to see long, unbroken shots of ace stunt work—but the sound design deserves some flowers too. Every snap, crackle, and pop here sounds like it connects, often at the same time.”
The Furious stars some of Asia’s best martial arts actors and stunt choreographers, including The Raid veterans Joe Taslim and Yayan Ruhian. The film is directed by Kenji Tanigaki, the renowned martial arts movie director/choreographer, whose credits include Blade II and Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins. The cast is led by former child actor and martial artist, Mo Tse (Jet Li’s The New Legend of Shaolin and My Father Is a Hero). The rest of the cast features martial artist stars like Jeeja Yanin, Brian Le, Joey Iwanaga, as well as a gang of stunt performers and fighters, with young actress Yang Enyu playing the daughter of Tse’s character, “Wang Wei.”
The movie The Furious will officially open in theaters on June 12th in Hong Kong and other countries around the world.
