A violent and bloody revenge thriller set in the dirty and seedy underbelly of urban Vietnam. The harsh lifestyle and neon lights suit the traditional story of dark female vengeance but the story lacked a personal touch and has an overly long ending which makes little sense. The frequent number of fight scenes are well put together but the CGI/special effects are pretty poor. The characters are a bit melodramatic and look more like the Powerpuff Girls than Charlie's Angels but it's stylish and entertaining, if a bit montage heavy.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

There were better choice for actor/actresses. The dialogue felt forced. Like it's pretending to be tough. Pretending to be a western action flick. I didn't finish the film.

Minha opinião: Um filme vietnamita, sempre com muita porradaria e sangue e muita corrida motos. A estoria é a mesma, uma luta de pessoas com vingança contra gangsters sem escrúpulos. Conta a estoria de uma menina que se torna órfã depois que tentaram estrupa-la e sua mãe para proteger acaba morrendo e a menina mata o estuprador. Assim ela vive nas, roubando daqui e dali. Até o momento que uma mulher que recruta meninas com estas características e as treina para se tornarem matadoras. Com o objetivo de eliminar uma gang, com ituito de vigança. Assim as envias as meninas a esta missão. Então eles tem vários embates, onde umas ganham e outras perdem tendo perda das meninas. Até que vem o ato final onde elas vencem porem a mulher tira a máscara pois o intuito era a vingança, mas também tomar o lugar na organização e isso não era o objetivos das meninas. Aí tem o embate final entre elas, quem será que sobreviveu? Roteiro e enredo fracos de uma receita repetida milhares de vezes nos filmes asiáticos. Por isso deveria ser melhor. Vale apena assistir? não Nota: 3

The movie was very good, kept me engaged with a lot of fast pace action, story telling, and characters. Took me a minute to appreciate the ending, but after thinking about the whole movie, I've come to accept the fate of the characters.

Underage rape & lots of it -- Disturbing but necessary to the plot. Knowing nothing about Viet Nam, assuming this is a comment on some aspect of Saigon culture.

Dynamic action filmmaking does a lot of heavy lifting in the otherwise lumpy Vietnamese beat-em-up “Furies,” a barely related prequel to the 2019 martial arts knockout “Furie.”

Rated: 2.5/4

Variety

Despite a routine plot and some abrasive tonal shifts, this tale... is packed with exciting action and boasts fine performances from four killers bound by blood, bullets and all manner of deadly weapons.

Ngô brings savage athleticism to Furies, and beneath that, a sentimentality that recalls 1980s Hong Kong cinema — doomed though the sentiments may be.

Cool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack)

Not only is the it vibrantly colored in a way a lot of contemporary action movies shy away from, Ngo somehow adds shades of Wong Kar-wai to her film.

The Furies doesn’t quite nail the sense of urgency like its predecessor, but it certainly balances its intensity with some slick fights.
