    Already caught up with the washing, just the dog to walk and water the garden so I am going to have a bit of free time. I’ll probably try a bit of PS3 but I lost all my saved games recently and not looking forward to starting over so I will probably end up testing out the max volume on the soundbar/sub set-up – so what silly action films should be at the top of my list (I recently rewatched the latest Top Gun film so that’s out). WW1 / WW2 films would be a bonus (I may end up rewatching All Quiet on the Western Front).

    I have Amazon Prime, Disney+ and Netflix to choose from.

    Inspire me!

    Spider-Verse, Prey, & to really test the soundbar – Tron Legacy

    Extraction and Extraction 2 are excellent brain out action entertainment.

    Also, all the Equalizer films with Denzel Washington, ditto.

    John Wick or The Raid.

    The Matrix for the sound system… that Propellerheads track and the sound of spent cartridges…

    Expendables, all of them. Dumb and stupid, but great fun.

    Meg 2 is great. It’s the film that the first one promised to be and never delivered.

    Plane is alright.

    Cocaine Bear is interesting.

    Mandy if you’re in the mood for a vision quest.

    Hard Boiled… although it has been almost 30 years since I saw it…might not be all action but it is good

    Extraction (both) I’d second. Missus went away last weekend and it was Live Die Repeat for me.

    Debbie does Dumbarton

    That’s so specific I’m tempted to see if it’s real….

    For mindless action, I love “The Hitmans Bodyguard:

    Watched Ministry for Ungentlemanly Conduct last night, silly violent fun, certainly worth a watch but felt like it was a bit lightweight and could have been better if they’d given it a bit more grit and oomph.

    Came here to say this.

    If you want to give the sound system a workout, the first five minutes of Swordfish (then watch something else).

    Can’t believe no one has said Commando yet.

    Peak cheesy 80s action.

    Bone tomahawk is great, but there’s one scene that stays with you…

    Action? War? Test the sound system?

    Black Hawk Down.

    I was surprised and annoyed at how funny & watchable The  Beekeeper was.

    Fury.

    At an appropriate volume, it makes all the doors in my house rattle in their frames and the glasses dance around in the kitchen cupboards.

    So halfway through  Ungentlemanly Conduct – it’s okay but not really grabbing me.

    FFS – so I’m going to bed so I can get up early for work – this isn’t how it’s meant to be surely?
