Good effects for the budget
Full throttle action
A decent indie film experienced entirely in first person view point of the main character. It does feel a bit like a call of duty video game but cranked up to maximum action and speed. The action scenes are crazy as is plot. Along with the thumping sound track this film feels like a roller coaster for the eyes and ears. Definitely worth checking out!

Unique Sci-fi film
A little slow to start but once the action kicks in this is a great Sci-Fi/Action film! Filmed in a kind of documentary style for the first half, it has some great action scenes and special effects as the story takes a direction you might not have expected. This is a one of a kind film, really different to most films these days. Definitely not one to be missed!

Good Comedy / Action film
A great over the top action comedy. So much action is packed into such a short film, it never lets up. There is a good chemistry between the leads and some witty dialogue, lots of exotic locations and great stunt scenes. There is enough to keep everyone happy. A mix of True Lies, Bond, and a Rom-com. A fun lighthearted enjoyable film that has something for everyone.

Hmm Ninjas Vs Cowboys may as well be the title. Visually very impressive and stylized. Think Sky Captain, 300 meets Crouching Tiger for a slick look. Unfortunately despite a good cast it lacks any punch! The type of story done too many times before. Sadly the action scenes look pretty but have very little action! A real missed opportunity with a better story and longer action scenes it could have been a cult hit.

Average Action Flick
I didn't have high hopes for this film. I really enjoyed Olympus has fallen but the sequel set in London was pretty poor. This was at least a lil better than the last one, although not by much. There are some good action scenes but the plot was a bit silly and predictable. It was a bit too long as well. Just ok for your action needs, nothing special.

This is a real game changer in regards to action/revenge movies.A film with a very simple plot that requires very little thought but contains some of the best action sequences ever seen on film.Fast paced,fluid and intense with not one single minute of the film wasted with long speeches and unnecessary plot diversions this film can proudly lay claim to one of the best (if not the best) action films of all time.

Live action anime that's full of action
Potentially unpopular review starting in 3,2,1...I think this is a better watch than the anime. Now I love anime and I've seen the original but do I love it? No - it's good but not great. Now this live action version delivers on all fronts. Visually its stunning and all the action sequences are great. Now my review is not the place to get into the issue that is whitewashing. Scarlett Johansson does a brilliant job and gets all the mannerisms right - even her walk BUT could an Asian actress have done the job? Of course. Speaking of Asian actors Best Takeshi is awesome as usual and steals every scene he is in. Well worth a watch.

Great fight choreography (1 more)
Amazing action scenes
I'm gonna need guns, lots of guns!
Another action packed John Wick film. It has more action scenes than crammed into 2 or 3 similar films. It's what we expect with the series now, very simple on the storyline with tons of fights, shootouts, chases. I would say this is better than the last one. The fight choreography is amazing, fast and frenzied without actually being edited so that you can't make half of it out. You can see every move, block, punch and kick in this. Whether it's with fists, knives, guns or even books it is just a higher standard to most action films.
So if you want a violent non-stop action film from start to finish this is the film for you.
