Top 30 Most UNDERRATED Action Movies of All Time

Hinzugefügt: 2026-05-17

[00:00:00]This isn't a negotiation.

[00:00:03]The sentence is death.

[00:00:05]>> Welcome to Watch Mojo, and today we'll be counting down our picks for those action movies that we feel have flown under the radar of appreciation over the years.

[00:00:22]Number 30, Carry On.

[00:00:37]There's a nice mixture of tension and action on display within the 2024 made for Netflix film Carryon. The ensemble cast, which includes Taran Eggertton, Sophia Carson, Logan Marshall Green, and Jason Baitman, all seemed game to tell this tale of a TSA officer at LAX airport who's at the mercy of a ruthless blackmailing mercenary. The backstory of Eggertton's characters, specifically his failed attempt at joining the police academy, lends audience sympathy as we root for him to come out on top.

[00:01:02]Elsewhere, the action beats feel exciting and earned as Carryon races towards its conclusion.

[00:01:12]>> I guess I woke up.

[00:01:17]>> Number 29. Point blank.

[00:01:28]Lee Marvin was one of those notable tough guy actors who rose to prominence on the backs of performances such as the one present here within 1967's point blank. Director John Borman may be known today for his more fantastical films like Excalibur or Zardas. But Point Blank couldn't be further removed from that world. Instead, Marvin's character of Walker is a quiet but vicious man hellbent on revenge. We follow his character as he tracks down his deceitful partner, unfaithful wife, and the members of an underworld crime organization that have his money. It's an utterly cool neo- noir crime action experience that feels vital, alive, and violent, particularly given Point Blank's late60s setting.

[00:02:04]>> Yes or no?

[00:02:06]>> Of course not.

[00:02:11]>> Number 28, Dark Man.

[00:02:28]The modern superhero movie boom hadn't yet occurred back in 1990 when director Sam Ramy released his film Darkman to theaters. The vibe here was more Batman 89 than The Dark Knight. But this isn't really a bad thing. Instead, the very broad and vibrant tone of Ramy's film feels nostalgic. A nice throwback to when these sorts of films were less intent on creating shared universes and more concerned with having fun. Darkman is certainly that while lead Liam Niss makes a great sympathetic hero. The effects, meanwhile, were largely practical, although some of the early CGI work definitely dates Darkman to its early '90s time period. For our money, though, this one's worth a rewatch.

[00:03:01]>> Payton Payton is gone.

[00:03:13]Number 27, Hard Target.

[00:03:24]>> Hong Kong action legend John Woo tried his hand at Americanstyle action cinema with this vehicle for established marquee named JeanClaude Vanam. Hard Target did admittedly bring some culture shock to Woo with regards to creative censorship and limitations, but the film wound up doing well for all involved.

[00:03:39]This is thanks not only to Woo's direction, but for Vanam's reliable on-screen charisma and charm. Hard Target never takes itself too seriously, while simultaneously delivering all of the exciting action set pieces that fans had come to expect from this creative partnership. It's basically early '90s bliss from a decade that helped to redefine the action genre.

[00:04:08]Number 26, license to kill.

[00:04:21]>> Touche. Timothy Dalton only appeared in two films as 007 James Bond with this second entry still ticking a lot of creative boxes when it comes to surprisingly violent action. License to Killer represented a Bond that was playing catch-up to the growing extremity of action cinema. The film achieved this in part via Dalton's performance which was less hokey and more grounded in cloak and dagger spy action. This time 007 is out for revenge after the brutal torture of his friend in the CIA Felix later. and the murder of Felix's new wife, Dela. Robert DeVie is particularly menacing as drug lord Frank Sanchez, and his final showdown with Bond remains one of the most cold-blooded moments in the 007 franchise.

[00:04:58]>> You could have had everything. Don't you want to know why?

[00:05:13]Number 25. Nobody >> run.

[00:05:25]>> Thank you.

[00:05:29]>> The Nobody franchise probably wouldn't exist were it not for the Taken or John Wick formula of an older but still capable badass heading out for revenge.

[00:05:37]And yes, Bob Odenkirk might have been an odd choice to play this sort of character, but nobody sticks the creative landing thanks to some clever writing and a lead performance by Odin Kirk that feels dedicated to the cause.

[00:05:48]Nobody boasts frenetic camera work and exciting cinematography and never really cares about capturing realism. Instead, this franchise has a lot of fun with its premise, providing action thrills without spending a lot of time on deep characterization or wasted dialogue.

[00:06:02]It's simply a fun action flick.

[00:06:14]Number 24, near dark.

[00:06:29]There's a lot to love about Katherine Bigalow's debut film from the directorial chair Near Dark. The film, for starters, does a great job of blending genres. Is it an action film?

[00:06:38]Yes. Horror? Also, yes. Near Dark feels like a western, too, with noir-ish elements that come to the forefront, thanks to some excellent characterization for its ensemble cast.

[00:06:47]Bill Paxton, Lance Henrikson, Jenny Wright, and more stars vampires that stalk rural Oklahoma. But this premise of Near Dark also provides plenty of time for moody nighttime shots, as well as discussions of love, death, and immortality. It's a movie that rewards repeated viewings while also standing apart from the slashers and monster movies that dominated horror back in the 1980s.

[00:07:15]Number 23, the Rocketeer.

[00:07:19]Get up. Get out of here.

[00:07:29]Expectations were high for The Rocketeer back when it hit theaters in 1991. This throwback to Hollywood serals and adventure films felt like a successor of sorts to the Indiana Jones franchise thanks to its late30s setting. Didn't really do the numbers Disney hoped back in the day, however, which is a shame because The Rocketeer certainly had a lot going for it with regards to its concept. It's easy to root for the film's hero played by Billy Campbell.

[00:07:50]While the stylish costumes and exciting action beats feel two-fisted and dynamic, The Rocketeer feels like a picture that although dying for a reboot, should also be rediscovered by a new generation that might appreciate its original intent.

[00:08:05]Jump for Number 22, The Last Boy Scout.

[00:08:21]Just a cursory glance at the talent associated with 1991's The Last Boy Scout should be enough to get vintage action fans chomping at the bit. A script written by Lethal Weapon creator Shane Black, Tony Scott in the director's chair, Bruce Willis and Damon Wayans starring in a Joel Silver production. It all comes together to create a film that works as both an action banger and a detective picture.

[00:08:40]The supporting cast of The Last Boy Scout is also great, particularly Taylor Negron and Danielle Harris, while weighins and Willis possess solid onscreen chemistry as the lead. If there's one film on this list that we feel you should watch first, it's probably The Last Boy Scout. There.

[00:08:55]Where? In the at the armor. We just passed.

[00:09:05]>> Number 21. The way of the gun.

[00:09:17]>> Okay, boys. We want this to go down nice and quiet. Just put the guns down. A lot of ink has been spilled over the years with regards to how Quinton Tarantino's pulp fiction inspired legions of imitators in its wake. The Way of the Gun often comes up within this sort of conversation, but we feel like this film from writer director Christopher McQuary more than stands on its own merit as an equally viable cult classic. Benio Del Toro and Ryan Felipe make great anti-heroes here. Low-level criminal scumbags with a vague code of honor and ethics that keeps them from being outright villains. It's fun as a result to follow the way of the gun as it marches towards the pair's ultimately doomed journey. This one's just captivating from first frame to last.

[00:10:01]Number 20, The Northmen. Director Robert Edgars has established himself as something of a visionary, developing evocative films with tons of personality. is the sword's nature, for it can only be unshathed in the dark of night.

[00:10:17]>> This was definitely the case with both the witch and the lighthouse, and Edgar's winning streak continued with 2022's The Northmen.

[00:10:23]>> Strike, rougher, strike.

[00:10:27]>> This hyperviolent revenge tale is steeped in Scandinavian mythology and contains some intense performances.

[00:10:33]Alexander Scarsgard, Nicole Kidman, and Anna Taylor Joy kill it, pardon the pun, as leads, while singer Buork makes a memorable cameo early on in the film.

[00:10:41]Release me.

[00:10:42]>> You cannot escape what fate the norms have spun.

[00:10:47]Now, be gone.

[00:10:48]>> The Northman is visceral viewing and isn't for the faint of heart, but provides tons of action for those willing to take a ride. Number 19, Rock and Roller.

[00:10:57]>> Let me tell you how this works. You're going in the drink, and I'm going to have a cup of tea. With classics like Snatch and Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels under his belt, Guy Richie is bound to have at least one overlooked gem. Like most of his movies, this action crime comedy contains multiple story lines that all intertwine through happen stance. Throw in charming English wit and a heavy dose of violence, and you got a great action film.

[00:11:18]>> Don't worry, he can't defend himself.

[00:11:20]He's got no head.

[00:11:21]>> Albeit one that received mixed reviews from critics, but was a hit with audiences. Rock and Rollola was number one at the box office in the UK when it was released and went on to gross over $25 million. That may be a far cry from the 83 million for Snatch, but still, Richie's fifth film deserves more appreciation.

[00:11:37]>> You are something special, Mr. Johnny Quidd.

[00:11:41]>> Number 18, The Long Kiss Good Night.

[00:11:43]There's a wealth of creative talent behind the scenes of 1996's The Long Kiss Good Night.

[00:11:48]>> I want a cigarette.

[00:11:51]I don't smoke.

[00:11:54]You're used to >> director Renie Harland has always been a reliable force for genre cinema, but it's the script from Shane Black that truly steals the show. Look at this.

[00:12:04]It's go. Okay. Okay. Bye. What?

[00:12:08]>> The creator of Lethal Weapon proves his metal once again with a story that mixes intrigue with action in a manner that never lets up.

[00:12:14]>> Who sent you?

[00:12:17]Why are you here?

[00:12:19]I let you touch me, cowboy.

[00:12:24]I think I need a bath.

[00:12:26]>> Gina Davis is both sexy and powerful in the lead as a woman with a past that she can't recall. Her eventual team up with co-star Samuel L. Jackson is chalk full of chemistry, and the pair make a badass action couple. The long kiss good night is yet another Shane Black scripted vehicle that's become a cult classic.

[00:12:42]>> You're going to die screaming and I'm going to watch. Number 17, Demolition Man. Director Marco Brambila comes from the world of modern art. This actually makes a lot of sense given the magnificent visual style of 1993's Demolition Man.

[00:12:58]>> Look, I don't need a history lesson.

[00:12:59]Come on, Hal. Where the goddamn guns, >> you are fined one credit for a violation of the verbal morality stand.

[00:13:07]>> Brambila didn't direct many films, but his creative stamp is all over the livedin world from this action/science fiction hybrid.

[00:13:13]>> He's going for a gun.

[00:13:14]>> Who cares what this primate thinks?

[00:13:17]Resonate some understanding. The only place a person can even view a gun in this city is at a museum.

[00:13:24]>> The dystopian future of a world without crime is turned on its head when a dangerous fugitive escapes from a cryogenic prison. The script discusses the necessity of violence to combat violence and doesn't shy away from asking interesting questions.

[00:13:36]>> You live up top, you live cock's way.

[00:13:38]What he wants, when he wants, how he wants. Your other choice, come down here, maybe starve to death. At the same time, Demolition Man remembers to be profoundly entertaining and action-packed to a fault.

[00:13:50]>> Say hello to my little friend.

[00:13:56]>> Number 16, Upgrade. Logan Marshall Green had a solid resume prior to his starring in the 2018 action flick Upgrade with supporting appearances in films like Prometheus and Spider-Man Homecoming.

[00:14:06]However, Upgrade was a welcome surprise to many action fans thanks to its intensity and palpable tension.

[00:14:11]>> She was shot. That means he had a gun.

[00:14:13]She was shot, but not with a gun he was holding in his hand.

[00:14:17]>> The flick was directed by Saw franchise veteran Lee Winnel and took 1970s sci-fi tropes about body modification and gave them an updated coat of creative paint for the MODERN DAY.

[00:14:27]>> SAM, HE'S GOT A KNIFE. SAM, >> I CAN see that we have a knife, too.

[00:14:33]>> Green is great as a victim of violent crime who seeks revenge. While Winnell's direction balances the more comedic moments with sequences of realistic violence and outstandingly choreographed execution number 15, Attack the Block.

[00:14:49]>> You know what that is? I'll tell you what that is. That's an alien, bro.

[00:14:52]Believe it. Must have come from out of space trying to take over the Earth in it.

[00:14:56]>> You don't want to mess with the kids on this block. This campy sci-fi action movie is a fun twist on the alien invasion genre. Steeped in youthful innocence, it follows a local gang of kids fighting off aliens with fireworks, baseball bats, and a samurai sword. But that doesn't mean it's not violent.

[00:15:11]Director Joe Cornish conceived of the idea after he was mugged, and he interviewed kids in youth groups to find out how they'd fight an army of aliens.

[00:15:18]Plus, the acting's phenomenal for a cast of primarily teen actors. John Boyyga, better known for his role in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, received high praise from critics as the main character, Moses. We ain't killing each other fast enough, so they decided to speed up the process.

[00:15:32]>> Number 14, Haywire.

[00:15:33]>> That's actually real.

[00:15:36]>> Oh, yeah, >> that makes sense.

[00:15:37]>> A hero on the run story line's always a good premise for an action thriller. In this one, Mallerie Kane has been stabbed in the back by her employer/exlover, but you can't figure out why.

[00:15:46]>> You can tell me right now why you sold me out and what you're into with Stutter, or you can tell me in 10 minutes when I have my hands around your throat. Half of the movie's told through flashbacks, which makes for an interesting and unconventional viewing experience. Actress Gina Carano, an MMA fighter in real life, performs all her own stunts, and the movie is all the better for it. The hand-to-hand combat scenes are fantastic, and Carano's character kicks some major butt. At certain points, viewers are just as lost as the main character is as to what's happening, but all the pieces of the puzzle come together in the end.

[00:16:16]>> I'll let you know >> when >> when I have him. Number 13, The Rundown.

[00:16:23]>> I pick up guns. Bad things happen to people. I don't like that.

[00:16:26]>> It's a rumble in the jungle, and the Rock is kicking butt and taking names.

[00:16:29]Dwayne Johnson plays Beck, a nononsense bounty hunter tasked with retrieving his boss's son from the Brazilian jungle. Of course, it's not as straightforward as that. Along the way, Beck ends up getting beaten up by a guy half his size and has an unfortunate encounter with a monkey.

[00:16:43]>> Get out of here, monkey.

[00:16:47]Johnson has undeniable chemistry with Shawn William Scott, who plays the smartmouth bounty. All in all, the movie brings a lot to the table with its delightful back and forth dialogue and over-the-top characters. Plus, the final scene's pretty badass.

[00:17:00]Wa!

[00:17:02]>> Number 12, to live and die in LA.

[00:17:04]>> I'd rather drink this [ __ ] pink cement.

[00:17:07]>> I want to get Rick Masters.

[00:17:09]>> There's nothing US Secret Service agent Richard Chance won't do to bring down the man who killed his partner. Chance pulls every trick in the book and many off the book to bring down counterfeit Rick Masters.

[00:17:18]>> But if you can't come up with the front money, you're not for real.

[00:17:22]>> The dialogue is sometimes clumsy and it may have received mixed reviews, but there's no denying the acting's good.

[00:17:27]William Defo's portrayal of Masters as a cold criminal is chilling.

[00:17:30]>> What a tragedy.

[00:17:32]I want my 600K.

[00:17:34]>> The shootouts and car chases provide the excitement, but waiting to see how far Chance will go is where the suspense builds. Altogether, the movie deserves a look from fans that may have once ignored it.

[00:17:43]>> Going to an auto parts store, get a new window.

[00:17:47]>> Number 11, Shoot The Him Up. There's little in the way of subtlety or restraint when it comes to 2007's Shoot Them Up. The film instead feels like a fleshy gunpowderflavored comic book, albeit in the best possible way.

[00:17:58]>> The gun will only fire when it recognizes the thumb print of the owner.

[00:18:02]That makes firearms safer and it cuts down a crime. Shoot him up plays in a creative sandbox that feels indebted to 1980s action movie cliches with a knowing wink and nod of self-awareness.

[00:18:13]>> What's up, Doc?

[00:18:15]>> Oh, you're a wally.

[00:18:18]>> Plot, character development, and especially physics are largely put on the back burner as Shoot Them Up instead creates over-the-top set pieces. Clive Owen, Monica Beluchcci, and Paul Giamati are clearly having a blast with the material, and shoot them up is made all the better for its audaciousness.

[00:18:39]Number 10, Edge of Tomorrow.

[00:18:40]>> You're going the wrong way. You're going to miss your moment.

[00:18:44]>> There's nothing quite like good old-fashioned word of mouth. 2014's Edge of Tomorrow initially struggled at the box office, and at first it seemed as if the film would be a flop for star Tom Cruz.

[00:18:58]Yet, this adaptation of a 2004 Japanese novel managed to eventually come out the other side and gain a following.

[00:19:04]>> When you killed that alpha, you inadvertently entered the enemy's nervous system.

[00:19:07]>> Cage, you've seized control of the Omega's ability to reset the day.

[00:19:14]>> How's that even possible?

[00:19:15]>> Fans defended the film's well- actualized action, as well as the gimmicky plot device of crews dying over and over again while caught in a time loop. It's sometimes titled as live, die, repeat Edge of Tomorrow, which actually makes a bit of sense. That said, it doesn't really matter which title you see it under. Edge of Tomorrow deserves your time.

[00:19:38]>> Number nine, Strange Days.

[00:19:42]>> THIS IS YOUR LIFE RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW.

[00:19:45]>> Imagine a world where you could have any experience in life from the comfort of your own home. In this science fiction thriller, Lenny Nero deals in squid discs, recordings that allow the user to experience someone else's memories and physical sensations.

[00:19:58]>> Let's get you wired up. I hope this axle grease you got in your hair doesn't screw up the squid receptors.

[00:20:04]>> What is all this squid [ __ ] anyway?

[00:20:05]>> The James Cameron written story pulls you in from the start and keeps you on the edge of your seat with twists and turns as Nero tries to track down a sex worker's killer.

[00:20:14]>> They never make it in time anyway.

[00:20:15]>> Even though it was a commercial failure, it's hard to see why. Whether it's Lenny's expertly crafted dialogue as he waxes poetic about being the Santa Claus of the subconscious or the heartp pumping action, Strange Days holds its own as a top tier film.

[00:20:27]>> I'm the magic man, the Santa Claus of the subconscious.

[00:20:31]>> Number eight, Thief. Is there any director that combines style and substance better than Michael Man? We're not sure, but we do know that this creator of Miami Vice certainly knows how to make banger after banger.

[00:20:42]>> You found my money on gigs.

[00:20:45]Let us pretend that you don't know whose money it is.

[00:20:48]>> That's right. For Christ's sakes, I don't know who you are.

[00:20:50]>> 1981's Thief may be man's magnum opus.

[00:20:53]Despite utilizing the well-worn trope of one last big score, >> your end covers the risk. 830,000 4 million at wholesale and unmounted stones.

[00:21:02]>> The film's neon soaked vision and synthesized score from Tangerine Dream underlines the desperation at hand, as does thief's seed criminal underworld.

[00:21:18]James Khan is simply magnetic in the lead and man's direction combines bursts of sudden violence with suspense and complex characterization. We're not for a second suggesting that you only watch one Michael Man film, but if you do, make it this one.

[00:21:31]>> Working directly for me?

[00:21:32]>> I am self-employed.

[00:21:34]I am doing fine. I don't deal with egos.

[00:21:38]>> Number seven, Ronin.

[00:21:39]>> Whenever there is any doubt, there is no doubt. That's the first thing they teach him.

[00:21:43]>> Any action movie worth its salt has at least one good car chase scene. And thanks to director John Frankenheimer, Ronin has several. According to the DVD director commentary, the movie used 300 stunt drivers, and in many of the scenes, the actors were actually in the cars when they were shot. When not in a high-speed chase, Robert Dairo plays a tough execial ops agent trying to steal a briefcase, although no one will tell him what's inside it.

[00:22:05]>> What's in the case?

[00:22:06]>> That information isn't necessary.

[00:22:08]>> Is it heavy? Is it explosive? Is it chained to some unlucky he blows wrist?

[00:22:11]>> Throw in shootouts and Dairo blowing up a car with a bazooka and you've got a great but underseen action movie.

[00:22:17]>> You ever kill anybody?

[00:22:19]>> I hurt somebody's feelings once.

[00:22:22]>> Number six, Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai.

[00:22:25]>> I've been expecting you.

[00:22:28]>> Mob movie meets samurai on the big screen in this Jim Jarmish film. Forest Whitaker plays a mysterious soft-spoken hitman following the ways of the ancient Japanese warriors, and he soon finds himself the target of the man he once worked for.

[00:22:41]>> Don't mean you no disrespect.

[00:22:43]>> Besides, I don't want to put too many holes in you.

[00:22:45]>> This isn't your classic hard-hitting guns blazing action movie. Shootouts are kept to a minimum, and there isn't much dialogue, but the story and its main character make for a compelling film.

[00:22:54]Plus, hip-hop fans are sure to like the soundtrack produced by the Wuang clan's Rizza, who also makes a cameo appearance. postal powering quality. I >> always see everything a brother.

[00:23:05]>> Number five, Dread. We'd like to think that we live in a world where fans of this comic book character can enjoy both the Sylvester Stallone and Carl Urban iterations of Judge Dread.

[00:23:14]>> I am the law.

[00:23:18]>> That said, this 2012 version presented the character in a much grittier and more violent light than its '90s predecessor.

[00:23:32]2012's Dread may not have performed well enough financially to warrant a franchise, but fans largely approved of Urban's believable tough guy persona.

[00:23:42]Choke on it. The world of Mega City 1 feels lived in here, where danger, along with excessive slow-mo and dodgy CGI, unfortunately, is always lurking around the corner. Who knows, maybe with the success of The Boys, Urban's Dread will be given the green light to defend the law once more.

[00:23:58]think a bullet might interfere with some more.

[00:24:00]>> Number four, a better tomorrow.

[00:24:08]>> Almost everyone deserves a second chance, but does that extend to gangsters responsible for their own father's death? This Hong Kong blockbuster directed by John Woo struggles to answer that question with a healthy dose of action on the side.

[00:24:21]This movie may not be considered a classic in North America, but it was a smash hit in Asia, breaking Hong Kong's box office records. Plus, co-star Chiao Yian Fat just looks so cool chewing on a matchstick, wearing a trench coat, and mowing down gangsters with a machine gun.

[00:24:41]>> Woo would go on to use Yan Fat in his influential 1992 action flick, Hardboiled. So, even if reading subtitles isn't your thing, you won't be disappointed.

[00:24:55]>> Number three, Master and Commander, The Far Side of the World.

[00:24:58]>> And the wind favors us this time.

[00:25:00]>> Don't count your eggs before they're in the pudding, Mr. Callaway.

[00:25:02]>> Oscar season can be a funny thing. Some films that are lavished with awards or nominations go on to become rewatchable classics, while still others fall into the fog of history.

[00:25:10]>> CLOSE WITH HIM AND MIDSHIP.

[00:25:12]>> MIPS, SIR.

[00:25:14]MASTER AND COMMANDER: The Far Side of the World was well regarded back when it was released in 2003. Well, at least by critics in the Academy. The film underperformed at the box office, however, leading it to be a somewhat underrated entry in lead Russell Crow's filmography. This was an era of big budgeted high adventure epics like the Lord of the Rings franchise, as well as another naval franchise you may have heard of called Pirates of the Caribbean. That said, we think that this mastering commander is more than worthy of another look.

[00:25:46]Number two, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. Shane Black proved that he was more than just a screenwriter back in 2005 when he helmed his first full-length feature.

[00:25:53]>> Wow. Sorry.

[00:25:57]>> Hey, good luck.

[00:25:58]>> Titled Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, the film brought together all of Black's trademark wit with a stacked cast.

[00:26:04]>> They don't freak out, they improvise.

[00:26:05]>> You change your tune every 5 minutes.

[00:26:08]>> Kiss me.

[00:26:08]>> What? Kiss me?

[00:26:09]>> No. No. No. leads Robert Downey Jr. and Val Kilmer possess a great rapport.

[00:26:13]While Black's adaptation of the 1941 novel Bodies Are Where You Find Them, updates classic mystery tropes for the modern day.

[00:26:20]>> Yeah. What happened that he had to kill her? Huh?

[00:26:21]>> Harry, will you put a sock in it?

[00:26:22]>> I just ask a question.

[00:26:23]>> No, I'm Yeah, if you ask questions and it seems like we don't know anything like we're fishing.

[00:26:28]>> This is a movie where the city of Los Angeles features heavily as a character all its own. And Kiss Kiss Bang Bang relishes in digging deep into the muck of movie making. It's a movie that just seems to know how cool it is. And we're 100% in for the ride.

[00:26:42]>> OH YEAH.

[00:26:47]Homophobes never check there.

[00:27:26]>> More action movies should take place on trains. This sci-fi thriller is set on the neverending rattling arc built to save humanity from a new ice age induced as an effort to combat global warming.

[00:27:41]Without you, Curtis, humanity will cease to exist.

[00:27:44]>> The premise for the movie based on a French graphic novel is unique, and the action scenes are epic. And we guarantee that you've never seen an axe fight scene as brutal as in this one.

[00:27:57]The Czech Korean movie did phenomenally abroad but barely made money when it was released in the US.
