Action
Gunpowder Milkshake
Not just disappointingly derivative and unnecessarily gory, but also poorly written and haphazardly executed.
The Man from U.N.C.L.E.
This television adaptation is stylish as hell, but offers little more to justify its existence.
Safety Last!
For my money, maybe the best silent comedy of all time.
The Way of the Dragon
This dated action classic offers little to the delight the modern viewer.
Greyhound
This excellent naval thriller skimps on frills and is all the better for it.
Police Story
An almost unbelievable amount of career defining action more than compensates for the flimsy story and hit or miss comedy.
Hard Boiled
Style over substance, but a treat for any aficionado of gunfights in action films.
Aliens
This follow-on film is up there with The Godfather Part II as one of the best sequels ever made, despite its many deviations from its equally excellent predecessor.
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
A decent story carried by some of the best action in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The Protege
This slick, high quality action thriller offers superb fight scenes and solid character work, but occasionally feels a bit too much like a John Wick clone.
Jungle Cruise
An attempt to capture the magic of pulp adventure movies of the past that instead creates something tragically soulless and derivative.
Conan the Barbarian
Pulp fantasy nonsense.
