It’s not the easiest thing in the world to label one of the Mission: Impossible movies as the best, as they all have different things to offer while having generally consistent action and sequences of impressive stunt work. The ever-committed Tom Cruise sought to outdo what had been done in previous installments with 2023’s Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, and the results were largely successful and genuinely thrilling. Like any Mission: Impossible movie, the plot of Dead Reckon...

Yakuza movies tend to get pretty violent, but at the same time, few can hold up to the level of carnage and bloodshed on display in the over-the-top Why Don’t You Play in Hell?(a movie that also might have one of the best titles in recent memory). It’s about a film crew going to great lengths to capture authenticity in the movie they’re making, which leads to them finding themselves in the middle of a genuine yakuza gang war.

- ‘The Man From U.N.C.L.E.’ (2015) You don’t need to be familiar with the original 1960s spy show — the one where Robert Vaughn and David McCallum got into Bond-lite adventures (though to be fair, Ian Fleming was a creative consultant for the series) — to dig Guy Ritchie’s big-screen adaptation, which channels the era’s espionage-a-go-go style while adding a dash of Cold War grit.
- ‘Escape From New York’ (1981) When the President’s plane goes down behind the walls of the nation’s most dangerous, maximum-security penal colony — a.k.a.
- ‘Dead or Alive’ (1999) You might possibly accuse Takashi Miike’s yakuza flick of being a little derivative in the narrative department: A cop (Sho Aikawa) is determined to take down a mobster (Riki Takeuchi) by any means necessary.
- ‘The Rock’ (1996) Welcome…to the Rock. The best Michael Bay movie by a huge margin (all apologies, Armageddon fans) turns Alcatraz into the sight of a hostage situation, with a gung-ho rogue general (Ed Harris) threatening to reduce the Bay Area to rubble.
