Guns Akimbo
Why this pick
A meek man thrust into an absurd gunfight becomes the centre of a neon-soaked, irreverent action sprint with the same comic-book violence and propulsive chaos.

02
Hardcore Henry
Why this pick
Its first-person viewpoint turns an already frantic assassination chase into a sustained visual stunt, matching the breathless, deliberately over-the-top action sensibility.
03
The Big Hit
Why this pick
A hitman’s disastrous day is played as a breezy collision of gangsters, deadpan jokes, and stylised shootouts—less relentless, but similarly unserious about action-movie physics.
04
The Man from Nowhere
Why this pick
For the protector-and-child thread beneath the mayhem, this delivers a more emotionally grounded lone-wolf rescue story that builds to exceptionally clean, intense action.
05
Bullet Train
Why this pick
An ensemble of assassins, colourful visual styling, and elastic comic-book violence give it the same playful delight in elaborate action set-pieces and escalating absurdity.

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
At a bus stop in a rough part of town, a carrot-eating Drifter (person) named Smith sees a pregnant woman on the verge of giving birth while fleeing a hitman. Following them into a warehouse, Smith kills the hitman by stabbing him in the face with a carrot and retrieves the woman's pistol. As more thugs arrive the woman goes into labor, and Smith delivers her baby boy during a shootout. Pursued by head assassin Hertz, the woman is shot and killed; Smith narrowly escapes with the newborn.
