There is nothing quite like a good action movie.

It’s about time we induct some underappreciated ones into the canon.

Dragon Tiger Gate

Even if the movie has all the ingredients to be a massive hit.

Bruce Willis and Damon Wayans co-star as a mismatched duo one a down-and-out P.I.

Eventually, diverse warriors must work together to save their home.

The Last Boy Scout

Alongside RZA are A-listers like Russell Crowe, Lucy Liu, and a pre-Guardians of the Galaxy Dave Bautista.

Man on Fire (2004)

Based on A.J.

When the deal suddenly goes awry, sides are drawn and everyone starts taking cover.

Heroes Shed No Tears

Snake Eyes: G.I.

Joe Origins (2021)

While this standalone prequel to the G.I.

While Snake Eyes: G.I.

The Man with the Iron Fists

American Ultra (2015)

“What if Jason Bourne was a stoner?”

That’s the basic (and tremendously fun) idea behind American Ultra, from director Nima Nourizadeh.

Mikkelsen finds himself the unlikely mentor of equally unlikely men who seek both justice and vengeance for their losses.

Red Heat

The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare is no stuffy history lesson, but rather a fist-pumping show with serious swagger.

Raw Deal (1986)

The 1980s were quite the decade for Arnold Schwarzenegger.

In 1986, he further asserted his profile via the action-thriller Raw Deal.

Knights of the Zodiac

What’s not to like?

Tak Sakaguchi plays a runaway prisoner who enters a disagreement with his Yakuza handlers.

The Heroic Trio (1993)

Who needs The Avengers when you have The Heroic Trio?

American Assassin

But do either of those things have “Stone Cold” Steve Austin?

The Shadow Strays (2024)

Timo Tjahjanto does it again.

Gatchaman (2013)

Go, go… Gatchaman?

Man on Fire

In 2013, Gatchaman soared to the big screen in a live-action reboot film from director Toya Sato.

Tell Batman to stand down.

(Well, near futurefor its time.)

Dragon Tiger Gate

Washington and Pine co-star as train engineers on a literal race against time to prevent catastrophe.

While attempting to outrun the enemy, Aigin plots his revenge.

Cate Blanchett co-stars as a ruthless senior CIA agent who dispatches agents after the both of them.

Free Fire

While tracking the CIA agent across Europe, Hanna stumbles upon startling revelations about her own origins.

Even if ninjas aren’t your thing, let Ninja: Shadow of a Tear tear away all expectations.

It packs heat and goes for the jugular.

Mayhem

Grey is then chosen to receive a cutting-edge computer chip that allows him to regain control of his legs.

Exceptionally violent and eerily sharp, Upgrade is truly the next level of action movies.
