Asian movies and shows are all the craze over at streaming platforms like Netflix and Disney+. Apart from South Korean and Thai shows, Vietnam is also an up and coming avenue for its products in the entertainment field. And soon, there is one interesting Vietnamese action thriller that will be released on Netflix.
If you're looking for a new action thriller to watch, the Vietnamese hit film, Furies, is worth checking out. In addition to its intense action, the film was also directed and co-written by Veronica Ngo, an actress from The Old Guard. Here's everything you need to know about the film.
When Is Furies Coming Out on Netflix?
Furies is actually a prequel of the 2019 hit film, The Furies, which was directed by Tony D'Aquino. This newer movie, on the other hand, was directed by Veronica Ngo.
The film made its premiere in the US at the South by Southwest Film Festival, which was held last March 12, 2023. And just a few days later, the film will be making its exclusive global release on Netflix. You can watch Furies on Netflix starting March 23, 2023. It has a total runtime of 109 minutes.
What Is Furies Movie About?
Netflix's synopsis of Furies reads:
"Furies serve up a thrilling tale of justice and revenge set against the vibrant backdrop of 1990s Saigon.
The film tells the story of Bi, Thanh, and Hong, three fierce and furious vigilantes who team up to take down a sinister crime syndicate led by the vile crime lord Hai. As the trio of assassins infiltrates the underground crime syndicate to deliver furious justice, viewers will be left to wonder if they’ve been manipulated into becoming instruments of vengeance."
Since it is a prequel of The Furies, it is set before the events of that movie.
Who Stars in Furies?
Furies stars the following actors:
- Veronica Ngo (as Hai Phuong)
- Dong Anh Quynh (as Bi)
- Toc Tien (as Thanh)
- Rima Thanh Vy (as Hong)
The cast had these to say about their roles:
“Never in my life have I had to undergo this much physical training for a role. Mentally, I challenged myself to empathize with the anti-hero and mentally burdened character that Bi is, to best bring her to life on the screen.” - Dong Anh Quynh
“Thanh is the eldest, always taking care of her ‘sisters’ though they are not blood siblings. Thanh protects them in silence, not with words but actions. I find it easy to empathize with Thanh because many of the character’s personalities are quite similar to mine.” - Toc Tien
“Hong brought me through a difficult time in my life. Hong gave me profuse love and strength to move forward and lead a fuller life.” - Rima Thanh Vy
