recomend me a good action film.

Night in on my own, what should I watch?

Ingmar Bergman’s The Silence.

A jolly, fun-filled uplifting little tale. 🙂

Not that kind of action Elf..

For those about to google.

Commando.

Not loads of action, but I would reccomend Taken if you’ve not seen it already, however steer well clear of Unknown.

Narc.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0272207/

It’s not cheesy action mind – like with Willis, Arni, et al.

Die Hard.
Zombieland (maybe slightly more comedy then action, but still great).
No Country For Old Men.
The Matrix.

Really enjoyed Taken. Good shout momo but already seen it.

death machine 😉

kick ass
machette

Not action as such but watched a fantastic film called the tunnel it’s been on recently at the film festivals I think it’s showing on sci fi this week, failing that THE MATRIX

Go old school and watch something like The Eagle Has Landed or Zulu.

Crank 1 and 2. Seagal’s Out For Justice or Nico. Tango and Cash, Demolition Man. Commando as above, or Running Man. Then Predator, or Rambo 4.

oooh this is a good list!

battle royal..

Heat.
Ronin.
Leon.

Oldies, but goodies IMHO.

RED

I’ve just recently (re)discovered some of John Carpenters stuff,

So I’d recommend digging out :-

Big trouble in little China.

Very old school, but brilliant IMHO.

Near Dark (more of a horror)
Old Boy. 🙂

The Town was pretty good I thought…

Gladiator

How about Fight Club or Snatch

+1 Heat

Bloodsport

[/url]

Mesrine parts 1 & 2

Dirty Harry. its action and its 1977. Effing rad.

Not yet available at home, but Hanna is good. Also watched a Liam Neeson film recently, not as good as Taken, but good action, erm what was it again.. “Unknown” 🙂

Here’s a few:

Four Brothers
Bad Boys
Bad Boys 2
Shooter
Blade 1,2,3
Friday Night Lights (sport rather than action but a great flick)
Desperado

battle royale, le haine, the original assault on precinct 13 .

Kick-Ass

Taken

Point Break. If you can put up with Johnny Utah

Black Hawk Down
Ronin
Leon

Le Haine and Mesrine. Good call!

Also, Taxi. The original French, of course.

Apocalypto

Harry Brown

Con Air.

Harry Brown is worth watching, really enjoyed it.
Unknown
I’m currently watching The Mechanic, typical crappy Jason Statham film but sometimes I like this sort of thing 🙂

Oh and Limitless and Source Code are two great recent action films.

The Mechanic was awful.

So was Point Break.

‘A Serbian Film’

Not seen it, but the Wiki plot description looks, ahem, interesting….

A Serbian Film is pretty horrible, not really something I would recommend! It is well made and shot though.
