Actioners

Eraser still holds up as a $100 million variation on his mid-80s actioners, but it is a vastly superior movie to Commando, Raw Deal, or Red Heat the last of which is a painful rip-off of Walter Hill's own 48 Hours. ❋ Scott Mendelson (2011)

If Marmaduke and Garfield can so readily mingle among the live-actioners, then give the gremlins their graphic due. ❋ Michael Cavna (2010)

For the intents of this feature, horror-comedies (ala Shaun of the Dead) are not eligible, nor are actioners (ala Blade Trinity [sub-note: Blade II is so effing amazing]). ❋ Unknown (2009)

A fine deviation from the usual "you've killed/kidnapped my family!" pitch that is in so many badly scripted actioners these days. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Both Lost in Translation and Marseguro are actioners, with strong narratives and strong characterizations, but you still manage to pack in a lot of literary value: complex ethical issues, the evils of intolerance and prejudice and the importance of karma, that you mentioned earlier in this interview. ❋ Ewillett (2008)

The mindlessness of the action is balanced against a scathing, cynical depiction of what the world has become, and that angle provides the film with just enough to help separate it from the hordes of other futuristic sci-fi actioners that it so clearly evokes. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Leterrier has also proven more than capable with big-budget actioners, so you know Strays will pack one hell of a punch. ❋ Unknown (2008)

American films like: Hard Target, Face/Off, and Windtalkers work as well, if not better than most of the modern actioners!! ❋ Unknown (2008)

Kudos, from the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films, recognize projects in those genres as well as actioners and thrillers. ❋ Unknown (2008)

So although I can learn some techniques from spy thrillers or giant actioners, studying that kind of book for what I want to do is probably not going to get me where I want to go. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Anyway, the news is that Keenan Ivory (does it seem like he was named by someone else, or is it just me?) will be directing Shawn and Marlon in a “hilarious” “sendup of cop actioners.” ❋ Unknown (2007)

But judging by this new, rapid-clip trailer, complete with Norton pronouncing “crystal meth” in a thick country accent, Leaves might have yielded a nice return on a visual gag so infamously exploited by Van Damme actioners. ❋ Unknown (2009)

There are far better examples of brainless actioners out there so dont go saying I dont get it again- personally I adore Condemned with Stone Cold Steve Austin and Vinnie Jones for the nuts-out idiocy and adult flavours of it. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Over the course of three stories, the series parodied the Sergio Leone Western, Martial Arts movies and Rambo-esque actioners. ❋ Steve (2009)

Collected on VOL. 3 are previews for chop sockey actioners, horror flicks, WIP dramas, student teacher/nurse dramedies, and gnarly revenge films. ❋ Arbogast (2008)

Stallone uses his iconic character here to explore the necessary evils of violence through a brutal pop lens, recalling his own role in fashioning 80's cinematic actioners and how those films have influenced not only subsequent works of the genre, but an entire generation of moviegoers weaned on them. ❋ Unknown (2008)

In one reality, low-budget actioners are art films. ❋ Nihilistic_kid (2008)
