Family away for a few nights – what action films?

Glad to see John Wick has already been mentioned, pretty much the gold standard of style over substance silly fun action

Also, assuming you haven’t already seen them:

Kung Fu Hustle

Mad Max Fury Road

Smoking Aces

Home Alone

There are so many good ones already mentioned.

I like the Mission Impossible movies for some solid, brain-in-neutral stupidity.

Dredd because it’s awesome.

Pretty much any Michael Bay movie has some great sound system-challenging effects. But the actual films…..

Like DrP I’ve watched Nobody loads of times. It’s great.

Kung Fu Hustle is brilliant. I was also going to suggest Bone Tomahawk (free on Prime) but let’s just cut to the chase:

I went to see Nobody at the cinema as we were coming out of lockdown and was the only person in there. Loved it, need to rewatch it (other than that bus fight scene which I’ve watched about a hundred times)….

The first two Predator movies, and Predators, the Adrien Brody one, Alien and Aliens, John Wick, of course, Sisu, for outrageous WW2 violence, oh, and the Bourne movies.

Did I mention Sisu? Oh yeah, so I did.

I was disappointed with Sisu. Like Overlord, the trailers overpromised on the actual films.

On the back of the other thread, I’m going to go watch Prey right now.

I watched it, after 40 minutes of sodding about trying to get Plex to play ball.

Great film, marred by a deus ex machina ending unless I missed something along the way.

Black hawk down. It’s relentless.
