After our writers revealed their action-packed picks, you replied with your favourites from Predator to Mad Max: Fury Road
Saw it in the cinema for the first time the other month and it’s nigh on perfect. Under 90 minutes long with perfect pacing, excellent set pieces and a lot more soul than most in the genre.Completely surprised me when I watched it thinking it would be a dumb action film. May even be one of the best Vietnam films. Works as a one-man-against-the-state film, young boys sent to war film, horror film, action film, tragedy. Masterpiece.
Fantastic action, a cool, nameless hero that almost never speaks and is extremely competent in one thing, great car chases, great villains.It’s almost constant action with no CGI and it introduced “parkour” to the world. It also has a great soundtrack – and it even has a social message .
