Sitges 2025: Kenji Tanigaki's 'The Furious' Has the Best Action of 2025

Holy hell – Wang Wei is coming and nothing will stop him! Let me just say it right up front: The Furious is the best action movie of 2025, hands down. Nothing is going to top this. While there are plenty of other great action movies this year, none of them have the fight scenes that this movie does, none of them are this level of full-on, go-totally-wild awesome. Made by Japanese action filmmaker Kenji Tanigaki, The Furious premiered at the 2025 Toronto Film Festival in their prestigious Midnight Madness section, then played at Busan, Beyond Fest, and now at the Sitges Film Festival – which is where I caught up with it. And OMFG it totally rocks. This movie is The Raid 2 of the 2020s. Another instant action classic. There's no question about it, this movie is up there with those two Indonesian action classics (both made by Gareth Evans). Two dudes take on an ENTIRE child trafficking empire on their own!! The Everything Everywhere All at Once stunts / fight team delivers the BEST sprawling, mind-blowing fight scenes since The Raid 2 in 2014. Yes, really, nothing has been this incredible since then. It totally blew away and now I can't stop talking about it. // Continue Reading ›
