Any good action movies come out in the last few years?
Looking for some new material for my home theater
shareI design custom home theater systems. Many of my clients tell me that they enjoy The Chroncles Of Riddick (for pucture and sound), Pacific Rim (for sound), The Dark Knight (for being a great movie) and Taken (for being a really good action/revenge flick). Speaking personally, I enjoy two really stupid but fun flicks, Shoot ‘Em Up and a Nicholas Cage fundraiser, Drive Angry, which has the enormous benefit of a William Fichtner performance that is worth more than the price of admission. Ironically, each of these actioners has a scene where the protagonist is attacked by a horde of people wielding firearms and worse implements is destruction while the protagonist is in flagrente delecto coitus with a shapely lady—and he finishes, in both senses of the word.
EDIT I’m recommending these movies on Blu-ray or 4K disc. Streamed versions will have compressed video and audio. For recent streaming action, watch Polar on Netflix. Dumber than a sack of hammers, but it stars the always-watchable Mads Mikkelsen, lots of violence, and sex, if that appeals to you.
