Fine. It's Mission: Impossible.
If the Raid is so fucking good, how come it didn't hop into my blu-ray player and make me watch it? Movie sucks.

That'll do it. After a tight, back and forth battle, Mission Impossible: Fallout comes out on top, marking the 3rd team to enter the Final Four. Next and final battle of the Elite 8 up shortly.

Best Action Movies of the DecadeThe Elite Eight
Midwest Regional Finals
Match 4: Region 4Inception Release Date: 2010
Directed by: Christopher Nolan
RT/Metacritic Score: 87/74
Making Their Case: The idea of moviegoing as communal dreaming is a century old. With Inception, viewers have a chance to see that notion get a state-of-the-art update. Take that chance: dream along with Christopher Nolan.
-Richard Corliss, Time Magazine
Kill List:
Transformers:Dark of the Moon, The Kingsman, Edge of Tomorrow
Promotional Material:
A Taste of the Action:
VersusJohn Wick
Release Date: 2014
Directed by: Chad Stahelski
RT/Metacritic Score: 86/68
Making Their Case:
The scenes of hand-to-hand combat are stupendous, often playing out in long-take medium shots that allow us to savor the fight choreography, and the production design is an eyeful. - Ben Sachs, Chicago Reader
Kill List:
Predators, Dredd, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
Promotional Material:
A Taste of the Action:
My Vote: John Wick
Note: That Inception trailer is one of my favorites, if not ever, of at least this past decade. I love you Inception. No hard feelings.

Inception, because Doomsday wants it to lose Between Inception winning Dracula's list and now priming to win this tournament I'm getting flashbacks to 2003/2004 when CS was Return of the King-crazy. Best movie of the year? Return of the King. Best movie of the decade? Return of the King. Best comedy? Return of the King. Best movie featuring the color green? Return of the King. I might be a sour puss but people don't understand that I'm not born this way, I'm made. |

The zero gravity fight scene in Inception is better than anything in John Wick and the heist format is very much in the action tradition. Furthermore, the thread is called "best action movie" not "best set of isolated action scenes," the whole movie is supposed to matter. |

I am neither born nor made, I just am, baby. |
