A movie that plays like a video game, Hardcore Henry follows Henry, who is resurrected from the dead as a cyborg and must rescue his wife who has been kidnapped.

While the flashier elements tend to get most of the attention, there are also subtle symptoms of Bayhem, like rampant patriotism and a romantic view of the “little guy.” In Bay’s films, these two themes are often deployed in equal measure despite being at odds with one another. The same is true of Deepwater Horizon, Peter Berg’sretelling of the 201...
Before Bay scratched his heist itch with Ambulance, Den of Thieves was there to do it for him. Following a classic tale of cops, robbers, and a lot of cash, Den of Thieves unsuccessfully reaches for the heights of Heat. While it doesn't get there, director Christian Gudegast's film is so much better than it has any right to be. RELATED: ''Bronson' ...
Kingsman: The Secret Service, about a rough around the edges kid who becomes an elite spy, has a style all its own. Although Matthew Vaughan's pacy and polished film is brimming with his own voice and trademarks, the Venn diagram of Bayhem enthusiasts and lovers of Kingsman: The Secret Service is pretty close to being one circle. Featuring a slew o...

A con artist, a cop, and a hitman walk into a small-town police station. What results is the reason phrases like "lightning in a bottle" and "hell yeah" exist. Joe Carnahan's Copshop represents the absolute height of what action films can achieve when they have white-knuckle tension, a killer story, and two of the most charismatic performances of t...
Between Armageddon and the Transformers franchise, Bay ranks high among directors who love silly sci-fi and disaster elements. But no one ranks higher on this list than the legend himself, the director of Moonfall, Roland Emmerich. Independence Day, Godzilla, and 2012 have shaped our modern understanding of what makes a blockbuster sci-fi/disaster ...
A mix of Bayhem, John Wick, and Hardcore Henry, Ilya Naishuller's Nobody manages to rise above its inspirations to become much more than the sum of its parts. The film follows an emasculated every-man named Hutch, played by comedy legend Bob Odenkirk, who returns to his former life of violence after his house is robbed. The Bayhem of Nobody comes f...
Action stalwart Gerard Butler stars as an engineer who, along with his family, is selected by the government to receive life-saving emergency shelter from an extinction-level comet heading towards Earth.

- 'Armageddon' (1998) When a Texas-sized asteroid is headed toward us, of course, you want Bruce Willis and Affleck leading a group of oil drillers into space to do a "Road Runner thrust move" around Earth, land on the invading cosmic junk and blow it up with a nuclear weapon.
- 'Bad Boys' (1995) Buddy-cop comedy meets "The Odd Couple" with identity-switching and lots of things that go boom. Will Smith's the cool Miami cop and Martin Lawrence is his family-man partner as they fight, bicker, investigate the disappearance of $100 million worth of heroin and try to keep Tea Leoni safe from a ticked-off drug kingpin.
- 'Pain & Gain' (2013) Dwayne Johnson seems genetically engineered to be the perfect Bay movie star. So it's interesting that this dark action comedy, based on a true story, is more of a dramatic showcase for him as Johnson, Wahlberg and future Marvel regular Anthony Mackie play a trio of ex-con bodybuilders embroiled in a kidnapping and extortion scheme that goes very wrong.
