THE FURIOUS: Joe Taslim on the Secret to Shooting the Ultimate Action Rush - 100% on Rotten Tomatoes
Lionsgate is preparing to release the frantic Hong Kong action thriller The Furious, directed by the acclaimed Japanese filmmaker and action choreographer Kenji Tanigaki (Legend of Seven Monks, Enter the Fat Dragon). The English-language feature is scheduled for a US release on 12 June 2026. Tanigaki directs from a screenplay co-written by Mak Tin Shu, Lei Zhilong, Shum Kwan Sin, and Frank Hui. The international ensemble cast is led by Xie Miao (Fight Against Evil) and Joe Taslim (The Raid), alongside Yang Enyou, Brian Le, and Joey Iwanaga. The plot follows Wang Wei (Miao) in the wake of his daughter’s abduction by a ruthless criminal syndicate. When law enforcement proves futile, Wei teams up with Navin (Taslim), a journalist whose own wife has vanished. Together, the duo take on the kidnappers in a relentless succession of martial arts confrontations. The Furious originally premiered to critical acclaim in the Midnight Madness section of the 50th Toronto International Film Festival in September 2025, before going on to screen in competition at both the Sitges and Busan International Film Festivals. The film currently holds a rare 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with early reviews praising it as ‘pure action cinema magic’. To celebrate the film’s release next week, CinemaChords sat down with star Joe Taslim. The actor discussed the unique opportunity to lean into his foundational discipline of Judo - a style he rarely gets to deploy on screen - and the complex logistics of blending it with the movie's diverse fighting styles. Taslim also opened up about his close collaboration with the film's cinematographer, who remarkably had never shot an action film prior to taking on this project.
