First of a trilogy, parts 2 and 3 are good too.

Interestingly, when my other half watched The Departed she thought Leo DiC and Matt Damon were the same person... That made it really quite complicated for her ๐
Watched Pride the other night on iplayer. Doesn't meet all of your criteria, but it's a nice film.
A Most Violent Year
Underrated IMO
Also very good

Denzel Washington's Equalizer is alright for 'remove brain and enjoy' purposes
Heat.
Law Abiding Citizen.
Pretty dark.
I was rooting for the "bad guy".
Si
Probably not what you're looking for but as we're talking movies, has anyone watched [i]Get Out[/i]? The film about the black guy heading upstate to meet his white girlfriend's folks?
Yes and it was terrible.has anyone watched Get Out?
Yes and it was terrible.
I thought it was great. ๐
Atomic Blonde?
-IMDB 7.1
-stars Someone hot (preferably male) - Charlize Theron, there are some blocks too
- Bit gritty, heist, action - tick
-Set on earth within our generation - 1989, guess it depends on your age if it's your generation
-Bit of romance. - tick
-Not super complicated - lots of twists but you don't need to follow it, it's an action movie
I thought it was great.
I'm going with terrible. ๐
Out of Sight ticks all the boxes.
Sadly, The Transporter only scores 6.8 so is a technical fail...
Fight Club? Has all of that in it.
I was going to recommend Red Cliff on the grounds that it meets absolutely none of the criteria. 7.4 on IMDb spoiled that though
Shoot 'Em Up meets all apart from IMDB (6.7) and is a marvelously plot-free piece of nonsense. With Monica Bellucci.

I think that "plot-free piece of nonsense" in fact oversells the level of Shoot 'Em Up's intellectual aspirations.
The Intouchables?
Not so much the romance but I think Hell or High Water ticks most of the boxes. And Jeff Bridges.

Plot free should really include 'Crank' or possibly 'Run Lola, Run'. However, neither reaches the magic number on IMDB.
How about a nice romantic night in watching Predator?
Grosse Pointe Blank & The Town spring to mind.
Spy Game? Has a heist of sorts. X2 male tottie of different generations. Story might be a bit complicated...
[i]Ocean's Eleven[/i] or [i]Fast Five[/i]
All boxes ticked, take yr pick.

But you [i]know[/i] those 0.2 who didn't like it were wrong.
Magnolia
Deathgasm is on the Horror Channel right now, it's immense !
Currently watching 'The Proposal' with Sandra Bollock and Ryan Reynolds.
It's ****ing terrible.
I like The Proposal! ๐ I am, however, quite firmly in touch with my feminine side, I think. ๐
Just saw Made in America, not too bad at all.
Taken?
