Who doesn't like a good action movie? We all have, right? Good action scenes can make a good movie great, while a mediocre movie is at least worth seeing. Action movies are one of the first reasons why we like to go to the cinema. Sometimes, to fully appreciate great actions, you need to experience them on the big screen.
2019 is a pretty good year for action movies, although not all the best examples come from the big screen. Nevertheless, Hollywood has brought us some wonderful action movies this year. The following are the most popular.
It is worth noting that the definition of "action movie" is far from conclusive. Many movies have action scenes, but not every movie with action scenes is an action movie. I try my best to stick to the movies where the actions are not just there, but the action sequence itself largely means "point". Of course, this is also a moving goal. Therefore, you won't find your favorite comic movies or space war movies in this list. Although some of them have great actions, they are not exactly the same as "action movies". When you see this list, you will understand what I mean.
Angels have fallen
The fallen series feels a little old-fashioned. I'm not sure if anyone expected that we would have a second such car, let alone a third. However, in 2019, we ushered in the fall of angels. The secret service agent played by Gerald Butler in the film is as lucky as John McClane. He always appears in the wrong place at the wrong time. This time, he was suspected of trying to kill the president of the American League, so instead of chasing the bad guys, he absconded.
"Fall of angels" is obviously the third round. Although we have seen a lot before, it doesn't mean that the actions we see here are not worth noting. The plot of the film is very ordinary, so if we tell the truth, action is the only reason for us to tangle. Here are some great scenes to enjoy. Most, if not all, are completed with practical effects, which is very good in today's era.
Junction
"Triple frontline" is one of the best action films we'll see in 2019. No one can enjoy anything on the big screen except limited dating. It's an exclusive film released on Netflix, but even on a small screen, it's worth seeing. The cast of Ben Affleck, Oscar Isaac and Pedro Pascal is amazing. Although the film may not have many breakthroughs, it has been successful in all aspects, including some solid action scenes.
People lining up to watch triple frontline on Netflix are unlikely to be looking for reliable action scenes. The publicity of this film is more dramatic, but its action is also more successful or even better than other films. In fact, in addition to being a great action film, it is a reliable film and of course helpful.
Speed and passion: Hobbes and Shaw
If one day "speed and passion" is released, but it doesn't make such a list, it must be a big mistake. Although the first film series "Hobbes and Shaw" is different from the previous films, it still brings first-class action scenes, and the unparalleled action director David Leitch ensures the success of the action scenes.
Not all Hobbes and Shaw moves are automatic like the main series, but there are also a lot of cool car chases. Among the main actors, everyone has great body movements. Dawn Johnson, Jason stanson and Idris Alba will all shine. Moreover, someone needs to give Vanessa Kirby her own action series as now. In recent years, "speed and passion" series has reached the cartoon action level as a whole, and this film is no exception. Yes, rock wants to pull down a helicopter with his bare hands. Of course he knows.
