HA NOI — Netflix will buy the copyright for Hai Phuong (Furie) starring Ngo Thanh Van (Veronica Ngo) after its successful premiere in the US.

The film will be screened widely in the US via TVs and smart devices.

The latest action thriller by Van promises to be a Vietnamese blockbuster. In the film, Van plays Hai Phuong, a single mother who leaves a glamorous life behind to raise her daughter and keep her safe. One day, little Mai is kidnapped in front of Phuong’s eyes. She has only 14 hours to get her daughter back.

The film includes writer/director Le Van Kiet, fight choreographer Kefi Abrikh and action director Yannick Ben.

Distribution label Well Go USA Entertainment released it in American cities such as Dallas, Houston, Philadelphia, San Jose, Portland, Seattle and New York on March 1.

Van stars in 2017’s Star Wars: The Last Jedi and Netflix’s Bright. Those films both had large audiences. She is well-known as a leading action actress in Vietnamese cinema, with credits including The Rebel (2007), Clash (2009), and Once Upon a Time in Vietnam (2013).
