We will talk about action flicks: acting is not as critical as the guns, car chases are highly recommended, hot chicks, even more so.
So the list commences:
1. Hard Target: directed by John Woo, this movie has Jean Claude van Damme at his blistering best, and Voslo and Henrickson make excellent villains.
2. Desperado: Robert Rodriguez directed this remake/update to El-Mariachi with the great Antonio Banderas and his guitar case. Never will I think about a guitar case and imagine that it contains a guitar again. The absolutely delectable Salma Hayek brings along what every Bond film tries, and as a tribute to Ms. Hayek, fails to bring.
3. Assassins: Robert Rath (Stallone) and Miguel Bain (Banderas) are really polite in this movie. Even when they are trying their very best to kaput each other, they do so with silenced weapons.. no loud bangs! Julianne Moore is the exact opposite of Hayek in Desperado, a super hot computer programmer with a pet cat, lovvvvely!
4. The Transporter: Jason Statham used to be a member of the British Olympic swimming team. Thank Goodness, he decided to take up acting at some point (well, the man most directly responsible for bringing him to the screen is Guy Ritchie). Statham is the best thing that happened to hard guns and bad arse hero action flicks in this decade. He drives a BMW at breakneck speed, dives from a plane and kicks some serious arse with equal aplomb.
5. This spot is left open for the 2007 summer.
