“And so I said, ‘I think I have the perfect film.’ And we snuck in sideways that way.”Īnother fun tidbit from that interview: JVJ did one of the stunts from the climactic sequence of the film himself. “He really, really wanted a World War II Jeep and wanted to be able to write it off as part of the production cost,” Johnson told Essary.

Johnson, a former stuntman best known for his collaborations with DTV action legend Scott Adkins ( Avengement, although my favorite is The Debt Collector), delivers one of his very finest films, keeping viewers on the edge of their seat for the entirety of its 94-minute runtime. What follows is a gripping, tense thriller set almost entirely in a cemetery, with a palpable air of uncertainty throwing everything you think you know about the characters and the situation into question.

They aren’t the only ones seeking the gold: Members of the French resistance and a battalion of Nazi soldiers on their way out of France are also on the hunt. She’s rescued (or captured, depending on your point of view) by a group of American soldiers, who demand she reveal the location of a secret stash of Nazi gold. Set at the end of World War II, Hell Hath No Fury follows Marie DuJardin (Nina Bergman), a French woman who has had her head shaved to mark her as an accused Nazi collaborator. The 90-minute thriller is an all-too-rare species in the modern movie ecosystem, but the excellent Hell Hath No Fury, a 2021 release new to Hulu this week, is an antidote in this era of three-hour superhero epics.
