Now On Netflix: Chill With Veronica Ngo In Rescue Action Adventure, FURIE!

Vietnamese actress and producer Veronica Ngo has provided strong notoriety for herself in recent memory, from her local bearings in Vietnam to more mainstream fare in Hollywood. Her latest 2019 release, Furie (titled Hai Phoung for its local release) is an explosive hit following its release in February and its North American crossover in March from Well Go USA Entertainment. The film is now available to watch on Netflix following its exclusive Netflix Asia release earlier this year. In Furie, Ngo stars as a former gangster whose life in seclusion is upended by her daughter’s kidnapping. Low on time and no sign of help from the law, she will pillage and plunder through the seedy criminal underworld in a high-speed race against time to find and rescue her daughter before it’s too late. My review is up since screening the film earlier this year and being delighted by Ngo’s continued […]

It’s the best week ever to be a fan of Asian movies with actress and film multi-hypenate Veronica Ngo. The upcoming Daniel A. Craft award recipient, special guest and juror for this year’s New York Asian Film Festival will get to strut her badass stuff with the special presentation of Furie from Well Go USA Entertainment.

Of course, if you’d like to win one of several of copies, keep reading after the following trivia question: In what key, specific way is Veronica Ngo’s role in Furie similar to at least one other action role she’s played in the last ten years?

FURIE: Take Home The Action And Vengeance Later This Month On Blu-Ray And DVD

Lee B. Golden III

It’s not often that Vietnamese martial arts action on film makes its way to our shores. Actress and cinematic powerhouse Veronica Ngo has left a great impression on her fans doing just that for the better part of the last twelve or so years to date having initially taken off with hits like The Rebel and Clash with Johnny Tri Nguyen among others. The Star Wars: The Last Jedi and Bright co-star’s latest strides have earned her a prime position in various entertainment aspects while maintaining her screen presence at home and abroad. That progress continued with Furie earlier this year which since made its way to Netflix outside of North America, and that’s where Well Go USA comes in, firmly officiating its debut on digital, Blu-ray™ Combo Pack and DVD beginning June 25. After putting her criminal past behind her, Hai Phuong’s (Ngo) daughter is kidnapped and Hai will […]

Review: Le Van Kiet’s FURIE: Veronica Ngo Is All The Rage!

Lee B. Golden III

The exciting allure of multi-faceted woman of business and talent, actress Veronica Ngo, is yet to be ever fully realized in the western world, a fact made clear with bit roles in The Last Jedi and hit fantasy crime pic, Bright – both big, major films that pass the muster, but definitely younger in comparison to the fandom Ngo has drawn up for herself since emerging as the venerable showstopper alongside Johnny Tri Nguyen in films like The Rebel and Clash. She earned a stake in Dustin Tri Nguyen’s feasibly entertaining sword fantasy, Once Upon A Time In Vietnam, and in Yuen Woo-Ping’s Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword Of Destiny. Soon, and much to our delight, the actress will be seen in Well Go USA’s own release of her latest Studio68 production, Furie, a film less so in the vein of The Raid and definitively more Taken to that affect; […]

Actress Veronica Ngo is exiting 2018 on a pretty high note. With a documentary about her life in the midst covering the Star Wars: The Last Jedi co-star’s spanning career in film on both sides of the lens and in several areas, her latest push, Furie (a.k.a. Hai Phoung), is guaranteed to leave a mark in the new year.

Lee B. Golden III

Western audiences have gotten an ample taste over the years of what multi-faceted actress Veronica Ngo can do, most prolifically on camera. She kicked ass on her way into the fandom next to Johnny Tri Nguyen in films such as The Rebel and Clash before paving her way into Hollywood for a time in David Ayer’s Bright and Rian Johnson’s Star Wars: The Last Jedi, and now she’s doing it again in Le Van Kiet’s latest, Furie, which began its campaign back in Cannes long before finally premiering an official trailer for its Vietnamese release in February.
