‘Under Siege’ (1992)

In the thrilling movie “Under Siege,” terrorists commit a grave blunder by disguising themselves as a rock band. They manage to secure a gig at the birthday party of the USS Missouri’s (BB-63) commanding officer, with nefarious intentions of stealing the ship’s nuclear weapons. Unbeknownst to them, the kitchen staff member, Casey (portrayed by Steven Seagal), is not your average cook; he’s a highly decorated former Navy SEAL known for making criminals cry out for their mommies.

Wrong Ship To Target

As a die-hard film enthusiast, I can still remember the thrill I got from watching “Under Siege” more than three decades after its debut. The kitchen scene where Seagal single-handedly neutralizes the bad guys using various kitchen utensils as weapons is a standout moment that’s hard to forget. However, it’s not just Seagal who makes this movie shine; he has some fantastic backup from actors like Tommy Lee Jones and Gary Busey. Plus, the sound effects used to build tension throughout the film are expertly crafted, contributing significantly to the movie’s two Oscar nominations for sound production.

‘Big Trouble in Little China’ (1986)

John Carpenter’s movie, titled “Big Trouble in Little China,” features the character Jack Burton, a truck driver, trying to aid his friend Wang Chi in a rescue mission. The objective is to save Wang Chi’s green-eyed fiancée from criminals within San Francisco’s Chinatown. This woman has become a target because an ancient sorcerer thinks that someone with green eyes can help him lift a centuries-old curse.

Fighting Voodoo

A skilled carpenter, more recognized for his horror creations, constructs a heartfelt tribute to camaraderie instead. Steering clear of preachiness or intense themes, his delicate approach ensures the narrative unfolds in a manner that appeals to those less inclined towards heavy viewing. The chemistry on screen is equally captivating, likely stemming from Russell’s familiarity with Carpenter as they had collaborated previously. Furthermore, the soundtrack brims with infectious tunes, switching between sweet and tart melodies. Without a doubt, Big Trouble in Little China merits your attention.

8
‘Taken’ (2008)

In the movie Taken, Bryan Mills (played by Liam Neeson), a former Green Beret and ex-CIA agent, is trying to strengthen his relationship with his 17-year-old daughter who resides with her mother and her affluent stepfather. When she travels to Europe for a music festival featuring her favorite band, she gets abducted, compelling Mills to resort to his ruthless skills>.

Neeson’s Metamorphosis into an Action Star

I’ll track you down, I’ll locate you… And I’ll bring about your end.” Could there be a more iconic quote from an action movie? The film “Taken” was so powerful that it persuaded Liam Neeson to forsake his pursuit of dramatic roles. Farewell to “Schindler’s List,” hello to fistfights. Has this transformation been successful for him? Be cautious, or he’ll track you down… locate you… and… (let’s keep it friendly here)!

7
‘Fearless’ (2006)

Boldly speaks about Huo Yuanjia (Li), an esteemed Chinese martial artist of legend, who withdraws to a tranquil countryside to cultivate humility and harmony with nature, following a deeply affecting event in his life. However, when the moment arrives for him to return to urban surroundings, a fresh test presents itself.

Li At His Usual Best

In a skillful manner, Director Ronny Yu (recognized for his work on Freddy vs. Jason) manages to balance the varying tones and narratives seamlessly, steering clear of any overly sentimental or melodramatic elements. The plot stays concise and focused. Li’s performance exudes an impressive blend of ferocity and elegance, with moments that are downright suave. Winning the Best Action Choreography award at the Hong Kong Film Awards is quite an achievement, especially given the large number of well-executed action films produced annually in Hong Kong.

6
‘White House Down’ (2013)

In the unfortunate event that he couldn’t join the Secret Service, Capitol police officer John Cale (Channing Tatum), instead of breaking his promise to his daughter, decides to show her around the White House. However, their tour is disrupted when terrorists invade the building in the movie “White House Down”. Can Cale protect his daughter and President James Sawyer (Jamie Foxx) until the end of this thrilling ordeal?

Saving POTUS

During the 2010s, there was a trend in Hollywood where many films focused on the life of the President being under threat. Among these movies, “White House Down” stands out as a favorite, with “Olympus Has Fallen” also receiving praise as an excellent alternative choice. The appeal of this film lies primarily in its action sequences, but it’s also highly regarded due to its two incredibly gifted leading actors. Keep an eye out for the thrilling car chase scene on the White House lawn – some say it’s the best ever filmed!

5
‘Run All Night’ (2015)

In “Run All Night,” I’ve spent years living in the shadows as a hitman for the mob. However, my quiet life is disrupted when my estranged son witnesses a Don’s son committing a heinous crime. Feeling compelled to shield my family, I take matters into my own hands and eliminate the perpetrator, which sets off a relentless pursuit.

Man Vs. The Mob

Under Cover of Darkness, Run All Night delivers a captivating experience, skillfully exploring themes of parental duty and moral reckoning. This marks the third team-up between Neeson and director Jaume Collet-Serra (following Non-Stop and Unknown). The film is seasoned with a sharp serving of dialogue reminiscent of noir, enhancing its suspenseful narrative. Notable performances by Common, Joel Kinnaman, and Ed Harris further enrich the movie.

4
‘Raw Deal’ (1986)

In the movie “Raw Deal“, the FBI faces difficulties in prosecuting a ruthless mob boss due to a traitor hidden within their own ranks. As a result, they need to change tactics. So, they recruit Mark Kaminsky (played by Arnold Schwarzenegger), a disgraced ex-agent yearning for redemption, and assign him the mission of infiltrating the criminal underworld.

‘80s Action Magic

In a nutshell, “Raw Deal” might not be one of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s top performances, but that doesn’t mean he didn’t do well. He shines in every film and consistently commands attention on screen. The problem lies primarily with the script. It falters in places and may not live up to expectations for those who appreciate quality cinema. However, it’s not a complete letdown. For those seeking action-packed entertainment, they are bound to enjoy it immensely.

3
‘Shooter’ (2007)

In the movie “Shooter,” Gunnery Sergeant Bob Lee Swagger (played by Mark Wahlberg) finds himself betrayed by his superiors following a mission gone awry in Ethiopia. After spending years maintaining a low profile, he is persuaded to intervene and thwart an assassination plot against the President of the United States. However, when the assassination eventually takes place, Swagger is wrongly implicated as the perpetrator. Will the true masterminds behind the plot be exposed in “Shooter”?

Typical Action, Sprinkled with a Little Conspiracy

Antoine Fuqua excels at managing tales like this one, as they blend political intrigue and the military-industrial complex with personal obstacles, creating a movie that feels simultaneously familiar yet thought-provoking in nature. Mark Wahlberg seamlessly portrays his on-screen character as the typical tough guy without much humor or vulnerability. The film’s captivating quality led to it being adapted into a mini-series later on.

2
‘Red 2’ (2013)

In “Red 2“, the ex-CIA operative Frank Moses (Bruce Willis) is attempting to settle into a peaceful existence. However, his tranquil life is disrupted when an old Cold War weapon called Nightshade re-emerges, compelling him to jump back into action. Joining forces with his team once more, he resolves to set things right.

As Good as the First

The movie “Red 2” was among Bruce Willis’ last big-budget films before he shifted to smaller projects, yet it’s so impressive that one might question his decision to leave the major studio system. This film boasts some of the finest cinematography from all his movies and features some sharp dialogue that sticks in your mind. The action-packed story wouldn’t be complete without the stellar performances by actors like John Malkovich, Anthony Hopkins, Helen Mirren, and Brian Cox.

‘Under Siege 2: Dark Territory’ (1995)

Following the triumph of “Under Siege”, a follow-up film was inevitably an obvious choice. In “Under Siege 2: Dark Territory”, the action unfolds aboard a train journeying through the Rocky Mountains, from Denver to Los Angeles. However, Casey Ryback (played by Seagal) is not just on a regular trip; he’s en route to his brother’s funeral, only for terrorists to strike yet again. Rest assured, he’ll handle them with his signature toughness once more.

Under Siege Again

In a slightly different wording:

Although Dark Territory doesn’t quite match up to the perfection of the initial film, its storyline remains captivating and hard to tear yourself away from. This is largely due to a brilliant script penned by Matt Reeves during his college years. However, some of the stellar performances we witnessed in the first installment are noticeably absent. Even Seagal seems to slip into the “wooden” acting style he’s often been criticized for. Despite this, the non-stop action keeps all imperfections hidden from sight. By the end, you’ll find yourself smiling at the conclusion.
