Preman: Silent Fury

Deaf, mute and badass by necessity, Sandi is a “preman,” a thug who does damage in the name of so-called progress. When his young son witnesses a brutal murder, the two are forced to flee from Sandi’s own gang of land-grabbing henchmen, an exodus paved with bloodshed and vengeance. Still haunted by his traumatic past, the preman is on a hero’s journey—and he has nothing to lose but the one thing he loves most: his son. Like Ogami Itto in Lone Wolf and Cub, his survival is contingent on grit and near-supernatural fighting skills, forged from years of hardship. To save his son, he must face his inner demons as well as his pursuers, and Preman: Silent Fury erupts into constant combat, a cavalcade of stylish action tropes, and comic-book stylings, all tinged with feverish shades of noir.
