The 55 Best Action Movies of the 21st Century

"Most franchise IP blockbusters released to big box office hauls in recent years could qualify as "action movies" in one way or another. That's particularly true when it comes to the omnipresent cultural phenomenon we call superhero films. It can be tempting to write off the entire action genre when all you see is the over-pixelated epics about super-somethings stopping intergalactic injustice that make up an increasingly large chunk of modern Hollywood. However, the action movies that depend less on fetishized source material have yielded some of the most personal higher-budget work around. When done well, action movies can tell great character-driven stories through movement. Action — acted or animated — is simply drama made dynamic."
