Wilson Kwong VCinema

Headlining a revenge thriller that is sure to be seen as a female version of Taken (2008), Ngo delivers a heartfelt performance in a film that is far from perfect, but still manages to pack in a couple of furious punches.

Full Review | Feb 13, 2022

Brent McKnight The Last Thing I See

More than an all-out actioner, Furie synthesizes family melodrama, revenge, and acrobatic combat into a story about mothers and children.

Full Review | Original Score: B | Jun 30, 2020

Chris Sawin Reel Rundown

Even with its flaws, Furie is a one-woman juggernaut.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 3, 2020

Peter Martin ScreenAnarchy

Filled with sufficient action scenes ... the touching dramatic scenes add welcome weight to the narrative.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.0/5 | Oct 29, 2019

Adam Patterson Film Pulse

Furie brings fast, fluid action with a heavy dose of style to make it a martial arts bonanza that's not one to be missed.

Full Review | Original Score: 6.5/10 | Jul 12, 2019

Ed Travis Cinapse

This is one of the best action films of 2019.

Full Review | Jul 5, 2019

Victor Stiff That Shelf

Furie reaches some glorious highs as Ngo pummels fools into oblivion.

Full Review | Jun 26, 2019

Courtney Small Cinema Axis

Ngo provides each set piece with an exhilarating energy.

Full Review | Original Score: B- | Jun 25, 2019

Harris Dang easternKicks.com

Furie is a fantastic action showcase that compensates its simplistic and predictable story with a well-executed emotional build-up, a heartfelt mother-and-daughter relationship, fantastic action sequences and an engaging lead turn by Veronica Ngo.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jun 25, 2019

Richard Yu Cinema Escapist

Between the thrill of Ngo's intense fight scenes, and the freshness of a female action lead, Furie is a formidable Vietnamese film that can stand up to its Hollywood peers.

Full Review | May 30, 2019

Elizabeth Kerr The Hollywood Reporter

Ngo more than makes up for any shortcomings with a fiery, stoic, desperate and poised performance that balances badassery with vulnerability. It's her movie to lose.

Full Review | May 16, 2019

Kristian M. Lin Fort Worth Weekly

From the first martial-arts segment, with Phuong punching, kicking, and bludgeoning her way through a couple dozen thugs in the market, you can tell that these filmmakers know what they're doing.

Full Review | Mar 12, 2019

Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com

As violently compelling as events prove to be, the filmmaker still remembers to craft a complex, multi-dimensional lead character worthy of the audience's emotional investment.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 11, 2019

Pat Padua Spectrum Culture

This might be the beginning of a beautiful franchise.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.25/5 | Mar 8, 2019

Nathanael Hood The Young Folks

Furie is one of the rare, authentic cinematic examples where execution trumps originality. The fighting, centered around the native Vovinam and overseen by Kefi Abrikh and Yannick Ben Haddou, is marvelous.

Full Review | Original Score: 7/10 | Mar 8, 2019

Frank Swietek One Guy's Opinion

Just an unimaginative action flick, a 'Taken' clone with a female protagonist. But Ngo is a strong heroine, and her kick-ass skill will make it a hit with genre fans.

Full Review | Original Score: C | Mar 7, 2019

Alex Lines Film Inquiry

Furie proves to be a refreshing entry from Vietnam, and an equally exhilarating showcase of Veronica Ngo's undeniable talent.

Full Review | Mar 2, 2019

Rob Hunter Film School Rejects

Furie's story won't surprise you with originality, but it does deliver the goods in its action-heavy tale of a mother's love for her daughter.

Full Review | Mar 1, 2019

Matthew Lickona San Diego Reader

Notable finally for making the most of its limited resources: trying mightily to squeeze as much juice from a moped chasing an outboard skiff along a rural river as a Bond movie might have gotten from a superbike zipping after a speedboat through Venice.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 1, 2019

Cary Darling Houston Chronicle

The next time Jennifer Garner wants to do an action movie like the flavorless "Peppermint," she could take a few lessons from Veronica Ngo, the explosively charismatic star of the head-cracking, bone-breaking Vietnamese martial-arts slam-o-rama "Furie."
