i just got out of the furious (2025) and it truly had everything: joe taslim in yet another homoerotic partnership, a stellar non-speaking protagonist that communicates through sign language and consistently makes the right decisions over and over and it only elevates the plot tension, a stunning woman-centric opening fight, yayan ruhian playing a psychopath for the 10th time (but this time with a crossbow), a fight scene where a little girl is on the assist helping her dad murder people, an inventive and engaging final fight scene with near constant shifting dynamics in response to volatile environmental threats, god i could go on and on and on

oh and did i mention force masc (pragmatic chinese dad says short hair is better for hot summers and fighting - no, i don't care if kids think you're a lesbian, they'll see when they have to fight their way out of a hostage situation)
