Action films are cinema, pure and simple. Kenji Tanigaki's The Furious not only embraces this truth, it elevates it. Although the dialogue is sparse and often serves only to advance the exposition, the film’s real storytelling unfolds through exhilarating action. Every punch, kick, and movement drives the narrative forward, proving that action can be as eloquent as words. Tanigaki, along with Joe Taslim and Joey Iwanaga, shares their thoughts on the process, rehearsals, and what it took to make all those fights feel emotional.
