The latest: Den of Thieves 2: Pantera, coming seven years after the original, looking for that January sweet spot that benefitted The Beekeeper last year, and Gerard Butler’s previous Plane before that.
We’re cutting to the chase: 50 of the highest-rated action movies of the past year, to satisfy all your stunt-driving, barrel-smashing, limb-pummeling urges.
The list starts with Certified Fresh movies, including late 2024 holdovers like Gladiator II, Rebel Ridge, and Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In.
That’s followed up with Fresh movies, like legacy franchise sequels Bad Boys: Ride or Die and Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F.
Rotten movies round out the cast, with a few that boast beefy audience-driven Popcornmeters, such as Red One and The Killer’s Game.
