The Island (2023)
Michael Jai White Has Still Got It!
Michael Jai White does what he does so well!!! I set out to watch this movie without too big of expectations but was pleasantly surprised by the story, characters, location and the message. Michael's character love for his family doesn't allow him to do anything less then take on an entire criminal underworld (almost) by himself! Also I was surprised by some of the comic relief in here, especially by Michael's characters police partner. All in all this is a really fun, surprisingly bloody, action fest shot on a gorgeous Caribbean island. Highly recommend this popcorn action film, it's definitely worth a watch with your action film friends!
John Wick (2014)
A Perfect Action Film!
Simple story with powerful emotions drive this perfect action film. This is also a movie that changed the action genre for ever. The fight choreography alone was unlike anything anyone had ever scene at that point. And in the end it's a perfect revenge story with flawed characters that grow for better or for worse which is always how I love these kinds of stories to go. Keanu is picture perfect as a stoic assassin hellbent on seeking revenge for the bad guys killing his dog. Even the trailer for this film was darn near perfect. Im not sure any tale of revenge has ever done it better. My advice is if you haven't seen this film and love action, go watch it.
