Summary

Furies counts George Clooney among its executive producers — worth noting for the clout factor but mainly as a point of comparison: Rami Kodeih’s extraordinary first feature might be called an anti- Ocean’s heist picture, as rough-and-tumble as the starry franchise is slick. Propelled by a raw, heart-pounding ferocity, the Beirut-set drama is a sharp fusion of personal desperation and political rage, as specific to Lebanon ’s economic crisis as it is generally, woefully recognizable.
