>>84973786
Hardcore Henry.

>>84974240
thank you anon, I will check out some of these!

>>84974458
no good final boss fight
in your face CGI 3D effects that's going to be stupid as fuck if you're watching it on small screen without 3D

besides that it's solid

>>84974308
is the raid 2 as good as the first one? I loved the raid

ABT 1 = action kino
ABT 2 = dumb fun action pop corn movie

>>84974924
The ending to ABT1 made me fucking shout and cheer out of pure joy.

>>84974862
The final boss confrontation was great as it was, it didn't need to be exaggerated.

>>84975497
sure, but there really isn't a worthy opponent for Dredd, since we are judging the film as an action movie, it's lacking in that department.

I do agree it wouldn't make sense if Lena Heady suddenly buffed up and started kicking Dredd's ass, but she could've had a more badass henchman.

>>84975027
ABT1 peaked at the restaurant shootout and the ending was kind of silly

>>84973786
shame about hard boiled, fucking sucks

>>84976236
Nah, when he fucken turns the boat around and starts firing at the dudes with shotguns and MP5's with his theme song kicking in the movie peaked hard.

>>84974240
most of these and also Equilibrium for the gun kata scenes

and Dredd

>>84976466
gun kata...

the theory: the way to win gun fight is to stand in the middle of the room with no cover, be surrounded by all your foes, and win because of math!

the practice: get in point blank range with your opponent and juggle guns with plenty of slap fighting in between

>>84976357
then he forgets he's in a middle of a gun battle and stands straight up and gives a long ass speech about brotherhood

>>84973786

A lot of good action films are from the 80s, but here are some post-2000:

John Wick 1 and 2
Casino Royale
Collateral
Sicario
Black Hawk Down
The Matrix

Less guns, more swords:

13 Assassins
Kill Bill 1 and 2

So has nobody else here seen Hardcore Henry?

I heard about it, an fps action movie sounds really good, but could they pull it off?

I saw this very unpopular Takashi Miike action flick at a festival a few months ago and it was one of the most fun action films I have seen in a long time. I don't think you can find it yet, but keep an eye out for it. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5328802/?ref_=nv_sr_2

>>84977418
Yeah, they definitely pulled it off.

the raid films

>>84974867

the story is more a traditional crime drama and it kind of drags on without the high concept "cops trapped in a criminals building" angle, however there are fucking 12 badass as fuck fight scenes so I forgive the pacing

and what would you say, which movies have the best slowmo gunfights?

>>84977594
max payne gameplay

>>84974862
>no good final boss fight

I actually really liked that it didn't have the typical final fist fight just like how it avoided the usual tropes of the female sidekick being the love interest or there being some over the top stakes to save the city/country/world

the climax is more Dredd proving how ruthless and cold he is rather than proving physical might which is suitable for the character

>>84977623
sure, I also love stranglehold's more fast paced crazy style, but I wonder what movies gives this feeling back the best

Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning

Brutal and gritty fight scenes with a weird uncomfortable psychological horror atmosphere, like if David Lynch made action.

>>84977673
now that sounds interesting...

>>84974907
Why do people who volunteer their opinions always have the shittiest taste?

>>84974890

The Killer (also starring Chow Yun Fat)

>>84973786

John Wick 1 & 2 has some very inventive action scenes that intermix accurate gunplay with close quarters grappling.

An underrated grounded action movie is The Way of The Gun, has a great gun battle at the end with the protagonists clearing a motel realistically.

There was a more comedic movie released recently called Free Fire entirely about a shootout in a werehouse after an arms deal goes wrong.

For more over the top gunplay Wanted and Equilibrium and if you want to go full anime-level retarded watch Ultravoilet.

Headshot (2016)

>>84977439
Found it online quite some time ago. Pretty fun. More of an absurd yakuza tale, rather than an action movie

Free Fire was really weird. It tried to be funny, but fell flat a lot. And it was a very boring action, the trailer made it look way more interesting. The script probably used the word "crawl" a record number of times, because after initial bullet exchange everyone was crawling everywhere whether they were wounded in their legs or not.

>Man From Nowhere
More of a thriller, but that final sauna scene will make you rewatch it several times

>The Yellow Sea
Mostly hand-to-hand fights, but crazy visceral. This movie made me fear being chased by an angry mob. Didn't think movies could convey that feeling so well.

>The Big Hit
Oldie, but but goodie. Mostly forgotten.
