The best Action/Thrillers combine intense action sequences with a gripping, suspenseful plot, strong character development, exciting action set pieces, and unexpected twists to keep the audience on the edge of their seats.

From the intensity and action of THE ACCOUNTANT 2, to the totally wild and original concept of NOVOCAINE, to the dangerous power plays and high stakes of THE AMATEUR, audiences can’t get enough exciting action/thriller storytelling. This year alone, classic franchises like SUPERMAN and KARATE KID were rebooted, proving a great story can last for decades.
