Where to Watch: Disney+, Prime Video The Russo Brothers' first directorial effort within the MCU was so superb that they not only went on to get their hands on Captain America: Civil War, but also the culminating Avengers films of the Infinity Saga. Winter Solider is a hard-hitting espionage thriller of the highest order, one that threw not only St...
Where to Watch: Netflix Taking select audiences by storm in 2022 was RRR, an outlandish Indian action epic featuring fictional versions of two Indian revolutionaries - Alluri Sitarama Raju (Ram Charan) and Komaram Bheem (N. T. Rama Rao Jr.) - their friendship, and their fight against the British and a baddie played by the late Ray Stevenson. Over t...
Where to Watch: Prime Video It's hard to believe that the John Wick movie franchise squeezed in so much action into four movies in just under a decade.

Starring Hong Kong icon Donnie Yen in the title role, and with martial arts choreography by the unparallele...
Where to Watch: Starz This rousing slice of '90s bravado showed us a world outmatched by hostile alien forces bent on the utter annihilation of humanity. Arriving one day in city-size flying saucers, capable of causing mass destruction with a single beam blast, these extra-terrestrials had it in the bag - were it not for a plucky ensemble of charac...
Where to Watch: Prime Video, The Roku Channel Since this is an Ang Lee film, every character carries an angsty longing - while their bodies can fly weightlessly through the air, their souls are weighed down by repressed love and dark secrets. The magnificent, Oscar-winning Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon- starring Michelle Yeoh and Chow Yun-fat - ha...
Where to Watch: Netflix One of the leanest and meanest action movies from the last decade comes to us from Indonesia. The Raid's (called The Raid: Redemptionin the U.S.) incredible action sequences don't just stun you, they kick your teeth in. The story is simple: When a SWAT team of 20 elite cops becomes trapped inside a building full of killers w...
Where to Watch: Max Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy contained plenty of armies clashing on the battlefield, but it was the war for Helm's Deep, which brought The Two Towersto its brutal close, that stands out in the arena of action cinema.
