Eighteenth review is for a French horror/thriller. I was introduced to this through online suggestions, and this one is a must watch for sureee, mmhmm! Extreme violence, racism, manhood, life liberty property, drugs, revenge. Includes #spoilers :

Furie [aka Get In] (2019) I don’t have a cons list, because it gave me everything it needed to give me: Revenge, the meek outsmarting the strong, women fighting back, Black folks who have perspectives about race like the character was written for a Black man, all the dialogue was useful, the people you want to die, die (mostly), and a happy ending (literally😏). That second act where them intruders started puting the gruff squatter AND the pregnant lady into vacuum seal bags, BANANAS. A few other scenes that stood out to me: When Paul was going back and forth in those buildings to get help and it ended with them saying there was nothing he could do and then it shifts to him trying to get into the trailer but struggling with the keys, the sound effects are building and he’s about to snap and then his friends and family come out with a cake for his birthday. The whole scene where he popped a pill, got a bj from a chick with vampire teeth😬 (I was like don’t let her go down there sir Paul), and then saw his student outside gettin beat up by Paul’s new friends. (There’s always someone bigger and stronger than you, message). That whole set of events at the end where he starts fighting back against his ex-allies just taking them out one by one by being stealthy and cunning.

I wholeheartedly rate this a 10. There is nothing I would change. The cinematography, acting, and story all worked together extremely well. Kudos to Adama Niane who played Paul, I saw myself in him. The person who plays by the rules, is empathetic, is less likely to make a scene if someone cuts them in line. But it was his father’s house, then his house, and he’d be damned if all them pigs wanted to come and tussle with the wolf. Also loved that symbolism, Get in, not Get Out. Similar movies: The Strangers, 7 Days (also French), The Purge, Funny Games, Don’t Breathe.
