Trailer For The Hong Kong Action Film THE FATAL RAID Plays in The "Girls With Guns" Subgenre
Well Go USA has released a trailer for a Hong Kong set action thriller titled The Fatal Raid, and this thing looks like it’s going to be filled with ultra action and violence. The film puts badass modern women warriors at the forefront and is said to bring back “the irrepressible ‘girls with guns’ subgenre with full bombastic force.”
In the film, “An ultraviolent cops vs. gangsters bloodbath leaves casualties on both sides. Fast-forward ahead 20 years as surviving team member Madam Fong (Jade Leung, Black Cat) leads a new squad in pursuit of reckless young anarchists terrorizing Macao. An apparition from that fatal day before falls into the fray, bringing everything full circle for a serpentine and explosive final confrontation.”
The movie was directed by Jacky Lee and stars Patrick Tam, Michael Tong, Jade Leung, Jeana Ho, Hidy Yu, Min-Chen Lin, and Jadie Lin. It looks like the kind of action film that I’d enjoy watching.
The film originally opened in Hong Kong in 2019, and then in China in 2020. Well Go USA will release The Fatal Raid direct-to-VOD and DVD on August 24th, 2021.
