Best action film EVER?

[Oldspice]

The Last of the Mohicans.

NO!

 

[The Brewer]

Smokin Aces. Good ole shoot em up, plus it has Ray and Ryan in it. 2's not bad either

No

 

[Arch]

Does The Italian Job count? (the proper one, of course).

I saw a review of Taken 2 on the BBC on a telly screen at Manchester Piccadilly on Friday. The sound was mute, but the subtitles adequately relayed the reviewer's contempt...

 

[Nigel-YZ1]

Gladiator.
The Rock.
A Bridge Too Far.
Where Eagles Dare.

Heat has some good sequences too.

Yes indeedy!

 

[swee'pea99]

Terminator. "I'll be back."

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

That one where they all sit about doing nothing the whole time, you know the one....

It started in London on Thursday, and to say it is not getting good reviews is an understatement.

i watched Taken2 on Friday, It was very watchable but not a patch on the 1st one.

Several for me (with my memory, i will doubtless remember better ones later )..
Taken...excellent.
Watched Taken 2 the other night..i enjoyed it, but i didnt have great expectations of plot etc etc. just accept it as a fast moving, car chasing, non stop killing action film...it ticks all the boxes. Not as good as Taken, but it was ok.
Leon...loved that film.
300, excellent.

The Last of the Mohicans.

ooo yes on both counts. Leon (I wish she'd do a follow up) and LOTM are top notch

In fact, if we want to be a little cultural about it I'd opt for Brannagh's Henry IV, its like Die Hard with armour (and longbows) and is no where near the commercially polluted comic that is Braveheart

42 inch chest, Reservoir dogs?

 

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

The Last of the Mohicans.

glad someone has mentioned it - my favourite too

 

[Boon 51]

Zulu... Wild Bunch, High Noon, Pulp Fiction.

......Driving Miss Daisy, that's it!

 

[Over The Hill]

I am with Arch on the Italian Job - Saw it when it came out at the cinema in 1969.

I dont do much in the way of action films so was rather blown away with the cgi on Avatar. Generally car chases and gun chases are a bit of a bore (as in the opening of the last 20 bond films). A good twist in the story setup helps like there is in Wanted.
