Furies

Another female-driven action film and a lot better than the ones Hollywood has been putting out recently (I can't even remember the title of the lame offering with Karen Gillan). This one is spearheaded by Veronica Ngo, who appeared in the earlier FURIE, which is only loosely linked to this movie. I thought the earlier film was fine but hampered by a low budget, and the good news is that things have been ramped up a lot here. There are multiple heroines and lavish fight scenes featuring them tackling huge rooms and long corridors full of marauding gangsters. The plot is workable, the emotion heartfelt, and there are even some good surprise twists along the way.
