MovieWeb's 10 Action Movies With Incredibly Low Stakes

"An action film doesn't need to have a gargantuan third act to be memorable. There doesn't need to be a gang war or a Schwarzenegger-led raid on a compound, it can sometimes just be the story of some folks trying to get home, or one man avenging the injury of one innocent, or some fast drivers trying to boost DVD plays...or even trying to survive in a post-apocalyptic landscape now that all the true damage has been done to the world. These are the action films with a low-key nature, a focus on character and their personal struggle. There's nothing world-ending on the horizon, just something that could drastically affect the life of an individual. There's charm to that thin thread, even when it's surrounded by high-budgeted bombast." - movieweb.com
