It's not a shoot em up. It's an excellent film, though. Ever see "The Limey"? That was based upon those kinds of films. Michael Caine is awesome in "Get Carter".

I thought "The Limey" was boring BUT the technique of juxtaposing earlier films of the actor was kinda cool.

Hmm, personally one of my fav actions films, besides the star wars/indiana jones/jurassic park/t2/aliens/predator series..
Lethal Weapon! Nothing like a good buddy cop movie which blends in great action sequences with endless comedic quips. Definitely a fav, if only i can convince the Gf to get me the dvd sets :D cheers Vish

Kill Bill vol 1.. Action for actions sake.. no compromise.. From dusk till dawn.. Another movie you don't really know what's happening the first time you see it..

I'll throw another one in there:
The Abyss Some of the most thrilling sequences I've ever seen. All I can say is: The wedding ring!!!!! Intensity all the way through. Make sure you see the Special Extended Edition. Changes the whole ending of the movie and fleshes out the characters some more. |

Sorry Jamie, but IMHO the alternative ending was a huge disappoinment... When those things surface the movie go bad, bad bad.. They are beautiful under water but they should have stayed there.
I love the short version though..(the end) |

Yes! The Abyss is full of great action sequences; the ring, the woman drowning (dramatic action) and then bringing her back to life and the underwater chase where M. Biehn implodes! Great film.
There is a film called EXTREME PREDJUDICE that has an end sequence gunfight that is great. |

Extreme Prejudice is heavily influenced by The Wild Bunch.

Terminator 2, The Matrix, Blade & Aliens are my all time favorites.
