Film-Forward

Action

Civil War

At heart, this is a road trip film, a vehicular journey down the semi-ruins of cities and small towns, with occasional stops capturing vignettes of chaos.

Argylle

Argylle certainly has personality (and cats).

Concrete Utopia

A massive earthquake tears through Seoul, yet somehow, one apartment complex manages to survive intact.

Til Death Do Us Part

If you are in the mood for a snarky bit of kick-ass action, you could do worse.

Mission: Impossible—Dead Reckoning Part One

The latest series entry kicks its globetrotting exploits into high gear and never stops, with fight scenes that are leaps and bounds over most of the competition.

Fast X

Jason Momoa chews a 10-course meal out of the scenery, and sets the bar this year for over-the-top movie performances.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3

All one needs to enjoy Vol. 3 is a love of the Guardians themselves.

Sisu

If you come for action, you will not be disappointed, with so many set pieces awash with bullets, fists, guns, and humor.

Polite Society

Breezy, buoyant, and populated with a charming cast, writer/director Nida Manzoor’s martial arts-fueled action/comedy is awash in pop and literary references.
