number ten Furious 7
hey Roman you freaking out H no yeah you
see it no few franchises make it to
seven films and when they do it’s rarely
a good thing for The Fast and the
Furious series however the seventh time
up to bat was easily among the best from
humble beginnings as a modestly budgeted
racing slash action franchise Fast and
Furious has been fine-tuned into a
well-oiled high-octane cinematic
juggernaut Furious 7 is a franchise
operating at peak performance and it
raised the bar for the blockbuster
action flicks to follow it is hectic
it is over-the-top and it has very
little respect for the laws of physics
human frailty or common sense but you
know what we wouldn’t have it any other
number nine red it’s the film that comic
book icon Judge Dredd deserved and far
too few people have seen it dismissed by
some is a b-list superhero flick and
simply unheard of by others Dredd is a
sci-fi action movie that earns its are
rating thanks to a perspective altering
drug used by the characters called
slow-mo
the excessive carnage and gore of its
bone-crunching fight scenes is all
captured in super slow motion turning
the action into a bloody work of
cinematic art gritty and unflinching
Dredd takes us on a relentless ride with
the titular law-enforcement officer as
he serves as judge jury and executioner
in a crime ridden tower block number
eight commando if you ever find yourself
beginning to doubt Arnold Schwarzenegger
status as an action icon as he gets
older throw on commando and allow him to
blow you away all over again as John
matrix Arnie is a one-man army that’s
only too happy to mow down the seemingly
endless supply of cannon fodder henchmen
thrown his way hey sometimes in movie
land
saving the day just means decimating any
and all potential opposition
according to movie body counts comm
matrix accumulates a whopping 81 corpses
to his name operating at the pace he
does it’s a wonder he didn’t run out of
bullets or breath because we were
certainly short on the ladder remember
number 7
the first matrix film struck a perfect
balance between high concepts and
satisfying action after that however
things got a little convoluted people
are quick to write off both sequels but
history is a bad habit of focusing on a
sequels fault and overlooking what it
got right and boy oh boy did the Matrix
Reloaded ever get the action right
ignore the labyrinthine themes if they
don’t interest you and simply bask in
the glory of those masterfully
choreographed physics defying fight
scenes need we remind you of the highway
fight guns vehicular mayhem serious
fisticuffs what more could you ask for
with reloaded the Wachowski has
delivered a one-of-a-kind action
number six hardcore Henry white boy
white boy we would like to remind you
that at no point did we claim this was
going to be a best-of lists we are here
for action as much as we can get
trying heavily on video games for
influence hardcore Henry puts you in the
first-person perspective of the titular
Henry and never deviates after henry
wakes up in a lab with cybernetic
prosthetics he fights his way through
hordes of henchmen for most of the
film’s 96 minute runtime it’s often
thrilling occasionally nauseating and by
the end of the film downright exhausting
the story is inconsequential as are the
characters this is 100% pure uncut
action the grenade a day keeps the enemy
at bay
in 2014 Keanu Reeves and director chats
to house key resurrected the type of
action hero we didn’t think could exist
in the modern action landscape a simple
grim and thoroughly human protagonist
who holds an audience’s attention
without huge set pieces in 2017 s John
wick chapter two they perfected that
formula polishing and intensifying the
deeply satisfying gunplay in close
quarter combat that earned the first
film such praise a magnet for viewers
wick moves breathlessly from one
conflict to the next showing signs of
wear and tear after each encounter it’s
an exhilarating ride and a true master
class in action filmmaking and pacing
consider this a professional courtesy
number for crank high voltage just
yes-man the first crank was just as its
premise promised a non-stop and often
over-the-top action film experiment
you’d think that they couldn’t really
crank the dial any higher but then this
sequel hit theaters cranked high voltage
is in a word absurd Jason Statham’s Chev
Chelios literally needs to electrocute
himself to keep his artificial heart
going at least long enough to retrieve
his actual heart when he’s not sprinting
punching thugs throwing guys out of cars
or hooking up jumper cables to his
tongue he can be found trying to create
static electricity by rubbing up on
strangers or having sex like we said
it’s absurd but it’s also never boring
equip yourself is already done number
this Indonesian action film by director
Gareth Evans is a movie that knows what
it wants to be from the outset and
follows through on its mission statement
start to finish
a bloody bone-crushing good time it
follows rookie Special Forces member
Rama as he fights his way through an
apartment block run by villainous crime
Lord Tama Rama gets few breaks in the
film but the audience gets even fewer
with multiple fights happening
simultaneously throughout the building
Evans and his team deliver one thrilling
display of martial arts after another
our only real issue with the film was
that it ended thankfully there is a
fury road has often favorably been
described as one long car chase it’s not
exactly true though before that
incredible never-ending chase kicks off
we first get a thrilling reintroduction
to our titular character as he’s
kidnapped and branded by the war boys
only to subsequently attempt to escape
from its opening scene the film rarely
lets up on the action and thanks to
George Miller’s unique vision and
frenetic camerawork every shot is imbued
with violent energy what earns fury
roads such a high spot on our list is
not just the amount of pulse-pounding
action in it but the style with which
the action is presented
oh what a day what a lovely day before
we unveil our number one pick here are
some honorable mentions
number one shoot him up I can’t go to
that loose weight not on the Unabomber
the title says it all this film is an
unabashed celebration of gunplay we
first meet our reluctant hero Smith
sitting at a bus stop shopping on a
carrot alla Bugs Bunny when a distraught
pregnant woman hobbles past pursued by a
hit man he can’t help but begrudgingly
involve himself mere minutes later he’s
delivering a baby while blasting bad
guys away from this point on the film
rarely slows down and when it does it’s
only to lay the groundwork necessary to
keep the plot moving as soon as that’s
done the bullets start flying again
shoot-’em-up pushes the action to a
really suck or is this guy really that
good this video is brought to you by
