There is like 1 action scene, and the rest of the movie is Odysseus tracking down who threw him in the room and why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and this one, not an action film, sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude uses subject matter in his arguments about what is/isn’t a comedy. Oldboy is a thriller and 10 people in the world might consider it action. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Does Fight Club has one of the best fight scenes in the last 20 years? Nope. imdb lists OldBoy as action, drama mystery in that order. OldBoy for wikipedia is technically called a action thriller, what part of it is action, what is thrilling, so what it is both. Who the hell cares really, that is why this category is kind of BS in terms of putting said movie into category or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucketheadsdad Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Memento (The ONLY movie my son ever swiped from me. (I'd actually like it back, but it's not going to happen. He loves Christoper Nolan's work.) A History of Violence. A gripping, violent movie. The Departed. God I hated Matt Damon's character. One Hour Photo (Robin Williams, disturbed as all get out.) Before the Devil Knows You're Dead (Philip Seymour Hoffman was great....frigging drugs ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Memento No Country for Old Men The Departed Eastern Promises And um, I'm not sure if people are calling it action or whatever, but since we've got other crime films here, I don't understand how City of God doesn't have a ton of noms already. If it makes it through, it probably gets my final vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
