Here's 5 action movies that deserve a whole lot more credit than they got.
Death Whisperer Review: Nadech Kugimiya makes for a beefy protagonist in this horror movie that any and all thrills!
What Jennifer Did Review: Documentary navigates twists and turns of the story really well.
Anthracite Review: This Netflix thriller makes us go down several engaging roads and the twists and turns are delicious.
I wouldn't call edge of tomorrow underrated and definitely wouldn't call the Godzilla remake as underrated, it was critically acclaimed. Great shout on Snowpiercer though, I had never even heard of it before a friend recommended it to me and it was a brilliant movie.
I agree with the raid 2, but the judge dredd remake should be on the list.
To save opening the article:
1 - John Wick
2 - Snowpiercer
3 - The Raid 2 - Berandal
4 - Edge Of Tomorrow
5 - Godzilla (The latest one)
John Wick was a decent film, had a layer under it that felt it could go way deeper in a graphic novel if they wanted to make a franchise out of it, but as an action film goes it had good "No messing" killing in it.
Edge of Tomorrow was fairly forgettable in my opinion and I think that the film would have been much better as a futuristic "Saving Private Ryan" than it was as a time-travel story. The action scenes and characters and mechanised military was cool and a bit "Starship Troopers" but the story just felt crap.
Godzilla was just boring crap. I only watched it for the first time about 5 months ago and completely forgot half of what happened in it. It felt like a Transformers film mated with a Jurassic Park film and produced some Michael Bay/Japanese Art House film that didn't really have any plot once the Monsters creation was explained towards the first third.
