Action Jackson 2014 Kickass 720p
Cre Wallace
Action Jackson looks like the perfect masala flick, packed with entertainment and action. After killing it with Singham Returns, Ajay Devgn is back to entertain the masses. Here are five reasons to watch AJ.
As well as being able to shoot on target without fail, outsmart villains intent on world domination and make any woman fall in love with them, action heroes are also great at improvising smart one-liners.
Singh is Bling is an action comedy of the 'very good action, very crude comedy' type of populist cinema. If you have the gift of suspending your taste and sensibility by a few notches during a film-show and are content with glamour, glitz and gore, you might be able to join ranks with the masses who are the primary target audience for the film.^Sorry, did I just use the word content? Indeed. Same spelling, different gelling? I am not telling!
For his performance as a psychopathic drifter in the thriller film Nocturnal Animals (2016), Taylor-Johnson won the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor and was nominated for the BAFTA Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role. He has since appeared in the action films Tenet (2020) and Bullet Train (2022).
In 2020, Taylor-Johnson had a supporting role in Christopher Nolan's Tenet.[22] In 2022, he appeared in David Leitch's Bullet Train, an action-thriller film based on the novel Mariabītoru by Kōtarō Isaka.[23]
Taylor-Johnson will next play another Marvel character in Kraven the Hunter, set to be released in 2024 as part of the Sony's Spider-Man Universe.[24] He will also reunite with Leitch in the action film The Fall Guy,[25] and star in Robert Eggers horror film Nosferatu.[26]
A two-bit crook (Robert Downey Jr.) and a private eye (Val Kilmer) work together to solve a murder in Hollywood. This tongue-in-cheek satire has action, laughs, and a cast with great chemistry. There are bumbling toughs with bad code names. Kilmer wears a tracksuit for most of it. Laurence Fishburne plays a beer-drinking bear.
It's tough to pick a top Arnold Schwarzenegger father film, with options like True Lies, Last Action Hero, Jingle All the Way and Maggie. But he's arguably the most kick-ass as John Matrix in the Mark L. Lester-directed Commando, engaging in a slew of action-packed scenes to rescue his kidnapped daughter from a former Delta Force team member's grasp during an assassination mission.
Alongside Mel Gibson, Danny Glover plays paternal as LAPD homicide sergeant Roger Murtaugh in Richard Donner's franchise-launching buddy cop film. Murtaugh's daughter (Traci Wolfe) is dragged into the action when kidnapped by Mr. Joshua (Gary Busey) and the Shadow Company, but Murtaugh takes bullets and torture in attempts to see her to safety.
Of Harrison Ford's many paternal roles, it's Wolfgang Petersen's political action thriller that has him saving his White House staff and family members from Russian terrorists who hijack the president's plane. As James Marshall, Ford shoots down the enemy (and memorably deploys Gary Oldman's parachute) and delivers his wife and daughter to safety before evacuating the defunct aircraft.
Sitting through "Kick-Ass" is like seeing a Tarantino movie for the first time. Terrible things are happening up onscreen -- a musical ear-removal, say, or a nasty basement geek interlude -- and yet, somehow, they're breathtakingly funny. Tarantino's discursive tone and giggly humor allow us some distance from the horrors he works up. "Kick-Ass" director Matthew Vaughn isn't as jokey as Tarantino -- he unapologetically plunges us right into the ultra-bloody mayhem. But this movie's juicy comic-book colors and exuberant fight choreography remove the action from any possible real world and anchor it firmly in the land of fantasy, where no one, of course, ever actually gets hurt.
Plenty of Mark Millar comic book tales have made the transition to live-action - but how do all the Mark Millar adaptations rank against each other? It's not unusual for comic writers to receive acclaim for stories on both the Marvel and DC sides of the divide. Much less common is when an author earns plaudits for their work among the big guns, as well as for their own original titles. Mark Millar sits as a member of this exclusive club, and testament to his influential storytelling is the wealth of movie and TV adaptations borne from his back catalog, with many more comic book adaptations on the way with his exclusive Netflix deal, including King of Spies and Night Club.
Mark Millar has a reputation for twisting the traditional superhero formula, whether by shining a light on the darker sides of Marvel and DC's favorites, or taking a brutally realistic glimpse at the life of a vigilante. Other titles deviate from the superhero genre entirely, reinventing James Bond or edging into thriller territory. With so many famous releases to his name, it's little surprise that Mark Millar live-action adaptations have generally impressed, both with fans and at the box office.
Between movies and TV, a total of 10 different comic books titles written by Mark Millar have been given the live-action treatment. Judging both on quality and how well the source material was adapted, here's how every Mark Millar adaptation ranks, from worst to best.
The most recent entry, Jupiter's Legacy landed on Netflix as an offbeat comic book TV series centered around a legendary superhero family in which the younger generation struggle to match their parents' reputations. Mark Millar and Frank Quitely's graphic novel first released in 2013, and while the source material and its follow-ups were roundly praised, early reaction to the Netflix series has been decidedly more mixed, with criticism in particular reserved for the slow pacing and humorless tone. On the other hand, Jupiter's Legacy features strong characterization, and an effective dual-timeline dynamic between the 1930s and the modern day, exploring two important eras in Sheldon Sampson's development.
The first product of Mark Millar's business relationship with Netflix, Jupiter's Legacy makes a strong enough start to suggest good things to come from the pairing. Perhaps The Utopian's live-action debut suffers in a saturated superhero market, with The Boys and Netflix's own The Umbrella Academy both offering stronger takes on similar themes, not to mention the MCU's migration to the small screen on Disney+. Sadly, Jupiter's Legacy was canceled shortly after it's debut, leaving a massive, open-ended conclusion to the saga that was built in season one.
Before becoming the Stephen King of comic book adaptations, Mark Millar's extensive cinematic catalog began with 2008's Wanted. Assembling a stellar cast headed-up by James McAvoy, Angelina Jolie and Morgan Freeman, Wanted builds from a uniquely intriguing premise to deliver stellar, innovative action. In this respect, Wanted's violent thrills and bloody spills are an unmitigated success, as Jolie and McAvoy bend their bullets stylishly across the big screen. In terms of adapting the comic series of the same name, however, Wanted is found wanting.
First released in 2003 from creator Mark Millar and J.G. Jones, the original Wanted offers only its bare bones to the Hollywood adaptation, which follows its predecessor in the looses possible terms, content to exist as a straightforward action movie by omitting the wittier, morally dubious aspects of Millar's writing. Wanted's most obvious movie change is the switch from supervillains to assassins, which reframes Millar's story entirely. With that said, those unfamiliar with the source material will struggle not to have at least a little fun with Wanted.
Kick-Ass is essentially a coming-of-age story wrapped in a superhero's cape, never allowing the brutal, real-world action to overshadow the humanity of isolated, frustrated teens and a kid whose childhood was stolen away. Many have attempted the "superheroes in real life" concept, but few executed those ideas as successfully or accessibly as Kick-Ass, which ably brings to life the tone and imagery of Millar's source material.
Nominated at the Oscars for Best Screenplay, Logan is a relatively straightforward pick for Mark Millar's top adaptation. Alongside Patrick Stewart playing Professor X for one final time and a revelatory Dafne Keen as X-23, Hugh Jackman's Wolverine goes out on the highest possible note - a visceral, emotional epic and one of the finest examples of blending personal drama with superhero action. Logan certainly doesn't chronicle Millar's source material verbatim, but couldn't be closer in terms of spirit and intention, and is rightly considered one of the best comic book adaptations of any author.
Given that they are stars and become well known, Hollywood sometimes calls on them to enter the movie business. They are athletic and built so they fit the stereotype of an action movie star. Since most of them do not have any acting experience, however, they do not get the big roles but sometimes end up in a short scene. They could also be the lead actor but in a D-list style movie. Either way, there have been more bad movies that feature MMA stars, than there have been good ones.
2010's Locked Down is a cop-action thriller that is sponsored by the TapOut brand. The movie stars Tony Scheida and it follows a cop who is arrested after being set up during an investigation. This then gets him involved in an underground fighting competition that will help bring justice to his family.
Is there a more MMA movie name than Tapped Out? The 2014 movie is an action-packed, bloody mess of a D-list movie. The film follows a young teenager who just lost his parents. He is sent to do community service at a rundown karate studio where he meets a mentor who is willing to train him. Once trained he enters a tournament so that he can go one on one with the person who killed his parents.
