Venice Debuts Fury-Filled Beirut Bank Heist

Venice hosts the premiere of Furies, a kinetic Lebanese heist thriller from director Rami Kodeih about two sisters in Beirut amid an economic collapse who hatch a plan to crack a bank vault; propelled by brisk filmmaking and moral complexity, the film channels Amores Perros and City of God with a Thelma & Louise edge, while George Clooney serves as an executive producer and the movie eyes U.S. distribution (Grade: B).
