Film critics highlight the best action films in cinemas and a few you might have missed from the past.
Summer is not quite here but action films are already hitting cinemas. Here's the best of what is in cinemas, coming soon, and a few overlooked gems.Actor Dev Patel, whom people should recall from"Slumdog Millionaire" and"Lion," has said he wanted to make a revenge film about faith so he turned to the legend offor inspiration. Hanuman is a Hindu god that appears as half-human, half-monkey and is known for his strength, devotion and cleverness.
But when I interviewed director Chad Stahelski he noted that a key inspiration came from silent films and the silent clowns of. Stahelski pays tribute to them in the opening of"John Wick 2" by having a frantic silent film chase projected against a New York building just before Wick comes speeding down the street. Keaton and Lloyd were essentially the first stuntmen.
Also currently in theaters is Guy Ritchie’s very jaunty and very British World War II actioner,"The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare."but it feels more like a lightweight James Bond adventure, which makes sense since one of the characters does happen to be Bond author Ian Fleming. It appears the events are true but the way they are depicted in the film are likely far more cinematic.
