The Furious (2026): A brutal mirror for a world gone mad
I saw The Furious and, boy, is it brutal. It's not the kind of movie you watch to relax with a beer in your hand. It's a masterpiece of pure violence, but not the cartoon violence of American movies, but one that feels real. Ok just watch the trailer!!
What left me speechless...ok so the choreography. I don't know how the hell they managed to make the actors fight in that mood. It's not acrobatics, it's pure, destructive efficiency. You watch and ask yourself: if there are people capable of something like that for real, why the hell are we protecting the rest? There's a surgical precision in every movement that makes you wonder where the martial arts end and where the pure carnage begins.
The real problem would be that the movie touches some sore chords. You watch the fights and the chaos on the screen and, suddenly, your mind is reminded of the strange cases that happen every day in society. You think of the thousands of missing children, the files that have been gathering dust in police drawers for years, and how the authorities sit back and do nothing while networks of traffickers do whatever they want.
We like to think that we live in civilization, but The Furious shows you that, in the shadows, the rules are the same everywhere: from Tokyo to New York, from Bucharest to who knows what metropolis full of “elite”. Disappearances, trafficking, people who are wiped off the face of the earth as if they never existed – this happens everywhere.
It’s an artistic film, yes, but it’s the perfect mirror of a rotten society in which the “elites” and the system profit from the chaos, while ordinary people are just statistics.
The system is just as rotten in every corner of the world. The authorities are equally inert, and the giants who own the technology and data prefer to look on from above, like cold observers, while people's lives are destroyed for profit or for cynical experiments. This film does not only show chaos, it shows organized carelessness at a global level.
The Furious is a punch in the mouth for anyone who still believes that "the authorities" or "the system" are there to protect us. It is brutal, it is technically impeccable, but above all it is a wake-up call: the world is a much more dangerous and controlled place than the news tells us. If you want to see what reality looks like when someone decides to pull back the curtain and show what is behind, this is the film. It leaves you nervous and with a bitter taste - exactly as any masterpiece that dares to tell the truth about the world we live in should leave you.
