Fury: The Tales of Ronan Pierce

WOW! After coming across the unique retro artwork for this film by Tom Hodge, I immediately put this one in my queue. SO Happy to say I did! This is one messed the heck up action film, and I say that in the best possible way! The story takes place in a place called Harbor City. Much like Frank Rodriguez did on a much larger budget, these indie film makers were able to create a whole new fictional world, and the results are terrific. The story is about a vigilante cop (Ronan Pierce) that would do anything and everything to find his kidnapped wife, and the result is a bombardment of some truly creatively grotesque payback and retribution. Given the way each of the villains are built up, the results are twisted and sometimes funny as hell. The cinematography is first rate, the acting is fitting for what the filmmakers are trying to accomplish (there are a couple huge standouts in the characters Lazarus and Lodder), and I REALLY enjoyed was the soundtrack. Almost always present (which you may or may not like), it is dark dingy rock n roll with a Nine Inch Nails /Chemical Brothers type vibe, perfect for the on-screen visuals. I can't say there is any direct comparison to this film, but if you enjoy your comic heroes dark and a little deranged,this one's for you - the anti-Marvel!

I am happy to report that this is one of those marvelous movies that is so bad that it becomes hilarious after a while. If you are not into getting wasted and laughing your ass off at stupidly over the top acted, badly directed, ridiculously ripped off films, avoid it at all costs. Other than that... this is only the beginning.

Try to think of Kung Fury mixed with Batman, Sin City and all bad cop revenge movies ever made, but so freakishly awful that you can't help bursting out in laughter at random. I kid you not: the term drinking responsibly has been created for this kind of movie, since not drinking when watching it would be insane!

Enjoy!

I hardly write any reviews, in fact I'm sure that this is my first review on IMDb. only compulsion for me to write for the first time is that this movie. it simply inspired me to let you all folks know about this movie. I have seen over 1000 movies, but this one really...really...reaaaally stood out. so much out that i was out after 15 mins. Opening is OK, build up is okay. but then it falls flat on face and nose smooshes inside and brains comes out. if background score and bad dialogues were not enough. The actors made me think how precious my life is. maybe they were told to act that way. but it was no way to justice the characters. i had high hopes for the movie when i saw the names being borrowed from The Guardians of Galaxies. Ronan Pierce, Karina, Luna etc etc.. i expected a certain degree of seriousness... they failed me and i as an audience failed them as i could not sit through the movie.

watch at your own risk and people who liked it, you are welcome to persuade me to complete the movie.

This is one out there film, and it knows it! I'm not sure if I've ever seen anything quite like it. Kind of a strange mash-up of action and horror, this film that follows an over the top cop looking for payback (with a TON of really fun psychos along the way). Based on a fictional city really brought to life using really cool CG, and graphic novel/Neo-Noir style cinematography ( a la Sin City, The Crow, Dark City etc), FURY: The Tales of Ronan Pierce is one hell of a ride! The film doesn't give you much of a breather, and if you like psychedelic rock mixed with cool dub-step, crazy visuals, over the top gritty characters, sex, drugs, DEATH, and rock n roll - check it out! Definitely a midnight film befitted for a rowdy bar crowd in need of some serious on screen violence - Bottoms up!
