Keanu Reeves as John Wick in John Wick (2014)
Over the past decade, the rallying cries for the Academy Awards to add a new category honoring stunt performers have risen dramatically. Stunt performers occupy an important role in ensuring that film action sequences look as dramatic as possible, giving them incredible insights about what makes a compelling narrative.
Although the character interactions are mostly fun, Fast and Furious Presents: Hobbs and Shaw is far too long, spending too much time on subplots that aren’t as interesting as the chemistry between Johnson and Statham. Idris Elba’s superpowered bad guy feels a little too over-the-top, and Vanessa Kirby’s turn as Shaw’s sister is given far less screen time than she deserves.
4 ‘Bullet Train’ Starring Brad Pitt and Aaron Taylor-Johnson Leitch clearly has a knack for casting, and Bullet Trainfeatures a packed ensemble of great actors playing against type. The propulsive espionage thriller features an uncharacteristically wacky performance from Brad Pitt as the unlucky assassin Ladybug, whose mission to find the son of a powerful Russian gangster is thrown off course upon the arrival of many dangerous criminals.
He may be best known for action, but Leitch proved himself capable of making a neo-noir thriller with Atomic Blonde. The film uses Lorraine’s mission as a window into a larger international conspiracy that intertwines British, American, and Russian secret agents all vying for a list detailing active operatives. Leitch thankfully ensures that the story never gets too confusing by using non-linear narrative techniques to flesh out every character’s backstory.
