Americans
notoriously avoid foreign films. The sad reality is that even those deemed the
best of all imported cinema (subjectively determined by year-end lists and
awards), are often ignored by a large majority of audiences in this country.
The rare exception of a financially successful foreign film is often completely
distanced from the idea of what wins awards, and tends to exist within a
familiar genre convention. In the past, horror fans have flocked to the
notoriously gruesome offerings of different cultures, but I have noticed the
genre most influenced by foreign markets in recent years has been the action/martial
arts movie. Ironically, while Furie’s
major selling point is the casting of a Vietnamese actress already successful in
Hollywood (Veronica Ngo from Star Wars: The Last Jedi), it is a film
that will likely be an introduction to Vietnamese action for most in Hollywood . And for many
it will be the first Vietnamese film they have seen; in fact, it was the first
ever to be released theatrically in the United States , in any genre.
