20 Best Action Movies With Really Solid Stories (MovieWeb)

"While many action movies rely on adrenaline over substance, there are also movies that manage to deliver both incredible action & a truly solid narrative. How many times have we seen mercenaries suiting up for an epic fight or an intense car chase & then going totally off the rails to the point where we're not even sure who's chasing who? Sure, mindless madness has a place in cinema. But on nights when we're in the mood for a strong story filled with character development & plot twists, we need an action film that can impress both our eyes & our minds. Some talented directors have taken the action genre to new heights by merging impressive fight sequences with emotionally engaging story lines. The multidimensional protagonists & the consequences of their choices capture our hearts fully. This list celebrates the 20 best action movies that stuck the landing by delivering top-tier action without forgetting the most important ingredient — a gripping tale told with flair." - movieweb.com
