Arthouse Action Films - Page 2

The arthouse action genre is an emerging film genre in contemporary cinema that traces its roots back to Asian and European films. Various sources have recently begun referring to various films under this label. Such titles include Hanna, Drive, Haywire, and Looper.
The genre is often characterized by heavy action and suspense, interlaced with stylized imagery and cinematographic techniques, that convey an overall feeling of surrealism. More recent titles have shown depictions of gory violence. The narrative of these movies may also be quite surreal, and the viewer is given a strong sense that the movie is not meant to be interpreted literally. These films also have a much smaller production cost than most action films; the films represented below are said to have budgets no greater than $50 million.
