Best Action Movies of the Decade

The Elite Eight

West Regional Finals

Match 3: Region 3

The Raid: Redemption

Release Date: 2012
Directed by: Gareth Edwards
RT/Metacritic Score- 86/73

Making Their Case:
It's a surge of adrenaline that connects a strong protagonist and story to martial arts moves - traditional Indonesian silat - that are well beyond business as usual. - Peter Howell, Toronto Star

Kill List:
Spectre (Sharks with lasers on their head), John Wick 3 (Bar of soap), The Avengers (Watched Batman Vs. Superman)

Promotional Material:

A Taste of the Action:

Versus

Mission Impossible: Fallout

Release Date: 2018
Directed by: Christopher McQuarrie
RT/Metacritic Score: 97/86

Making Their Case:
Of course, none of this would work nearly so well if the action wasn’t well-staged, and Fallout is legitimately one of the best combinations of choreography, stunts, FX, and cinematography I’ve ever seen.-Vince Mancini, Filmdrunk

Kill List:
Chappie, Upgrade , X-Men: Days of Future Past

Promotional Material:

A Taste of the Action:

My Vote: Mission Impossible: Fallout
