I saw a TikTok about the "best action movies of 2024", so I decided to watch a few the guy listed. Granted, this is one guy's opinion (tiktok name is Brandon Toks Movies), but I think he has a very good list. I watched all these in a two week span:
"Kill" - This is an Indian movie and I REALLY liked it. About 45 minutes in the thing really flips a switch and just gets BRUTAL. It was pretty high-energy before, but they turn it up to 11. I think even the trailer or movie poster says "the bloodiest movie ever to come out of India". Again, first one on the list I watched and it was GREAT.
"Maharaja" - Another Indian film. Different than your typical "action" movie. Great story. Great film. Kinda jumps around but kept me entertained the whole time. Of all of these listed it probably has the least amount of "action" (still has plenty), but it is a different kind of movie. Overall, I think this was my favorite out of the ones I watched.
"Monkey Man" - saw this when it came out. (Yeah, I guess I like Indian movies). I really liked this movie too, but think Maharaja (movie as a whole) and Kill (action) are better.
"60 Minuten" - German film you can find on Netflix. About a UFC fighter who has 60 minutes to get across town to his daughter. Yeah, it is not as simple as it seems. Good movie, but my least favorite of the ones listed.
"Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In" - I actually started a thread on this one. If you are a fan of old-school kung fu kick-assedness, this is your movie. The fight scenes are crazy. Pretty good story, but I kinda lost track and just wanted to see more fighting. Can't get over some of the scenes. Very cool.
In case you are wondering, here is the guy's full list:
10: The Beekeeper
9: Kalki (no idea)
8: The Shadow Strays (Netflix; was gonna start soon)
7: Kill
6: Maharaja
5: Mars Express (No idea)
4: Monkey Man
3: 60 Minuten
2: Twilight of the Warriors
1: Furiosa - Mad Max
