The term "action" appeared in our everyday life not so long ago and is a Russian transcription of the English "aktion" (action), so it can be unequivocally stated that action is action.

There are action games, but more often this is what we call films in which it is the action that keeps us bored. It doesn't scare you like in a thriller or horror movie, but it also doesn't let you relax.

What is action in cinema?

Action is all about shooting straight! It's catch up faster (run away)! This is dexterity of hands and feet (the use of knowledge of martial arts is welcome). It destroy everything and everything, even if the whole world flies to hell! It turns out that action movies are action movies.

Classic of the genre

The most classic of this genre, probably, should be called films about James Bond. The actors playing the role of 007 changed: from Sean Connery to Daniel Craig (although Pierce Brosnan is still dearer to many people), eras and governments changed, special effects became more complicated, but the tricks were performed with the same dedication, and the goal of the massacre always justified the means. Worthy confirmation of the audienceinterest in the spy theme and action in particular was the success of the franchise about the CIA, who lost his memory. "The Bourne Identity", followed by a very successful sequel "The Bourne Supremacy" (this film, by the way, was awarded three "technical" "Oscars" - for the best sound, sound editing and simply for the best editing), the triquel "The Bourne Ultimatum". The last part of "The Bourne Evolution" was no exception, where Jason Bourne himself was no longer present, but his spirit remained, so to speak. The Russian public was undoubtedly attracted by the fact that the shooting of the second part was also carried out in Russia, and even with the participation of our actors. "Mission Impossible" also consists of four parts, in each of which special agents perform some kind of super delicate task, threatening a political coup, a terrible epidemic or the death of humanity as a whole. But Ethan Hunt and his team get out of any trouble with honor. The best action, in the opinion of many, in this series was created by director John Woo, who directed the second part of the "Mission". Check out the movie data: no doubt, action is all James Bond movies.

Worthy Representatives

Based on all of the above, the very best actors in the action genre are Bourne's Matt Damon, as well as Tom Cruise, who embodied the image of Ethan Hunt in all four parts of the franchise. Jackie Chan with his tricks can be named among the top actors in this direction. Let's call "The Tuxedo" and all the parts of "Rush Hour", and it's already clear what we are talking about. One has only to admire how he manages to combine the application of knowledge to the enemy andskills in the field of martial arts with endless comedy! Uma Thurman as Black Mamba perfectly wields a samurai sword specially forged for retribution, so the image of this fighting girl in the films Kill Bill and Kill Bill 2 (especially in the mass fight scene with a whole bunch of Japanese assassins) is quite "creditable » for the action genre. Judging by the latest tapes that appeared on the screen, one can note the acting work of Guy Pearce. He was brilliant as Agent Snow, who playfully cracks down on notorious rogue prisoners who have escaped from a space prison in Luc Besson-produced sci-fi action movie Breakthrough. Watching the game of the above actors, their charisma, pressure, you understand that action is really something that does not leave you indifferent, touches a nerve. There would be more action films, otherwise lately more and more modern "masterpieces" make me sleepy!
