Action films often fall into the trap of hyper-focusing on spectacle, but some notable genre entries contain realistic, grounded action scenes.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Despite being such a popular genre, action movies often struggle to create realistic stunts and action sequences, making those with plausible – yet still thrilling – action scenes all the more impressive. Many action films become hyper-focused on creating marvelous spectacles, causing them to include ridiculous sequences that test even the most patient audience's suspension of belief.
8 Drive Drive is a 2011 action thriller movie that also manages to create a satisfying spectacle without feeling terribly unrealistic. With a star-studded cast that includes movie star Ryan Gosling, Carey Mulligan, Oscar Isaac, Bryan Cranston, and Ron Perlman, Drive follows Gosling's Hollywood stunt driver as he gets entangled in a botched heist trying to help a neighbor he is fond of.
5 Blue Ruin The 2013 action revenge film Blue Ruin tells a harrowing story of vengeance that includes a number of highly realistic action scenes. Blue Ruin, starring Macon Blair, follows a man's quest to kill the people he thinks are responsible for the deaths of his parents. Blue Ruin is exhilarating and emotionally taxing as its brutally violent action scenes paint a terrifyingly accurate picture of gun fights and various other forms of combat.
