10 Awesome Action Movies That Didn't Need A Sequel, Remake Or Reboot

10. The Night Comes For Us

The Raid and its sequel opened many people's eyes to the greatness of Indonesian action cinema, so it comes as no surprise that The Night Comes For Us turned out as good as it did given that it involved much of the talent that had been a part of Gareth Evans' two modern classics.

Studio XYZ Films and stars Joe Taslim, Iko Uwais, Julie Estelle and Zack Lee were all reunited under director and nemesis of auto-correct Timo Tjahjanto, who had already demonstrated his chops for expertly-choreographed violence in Uwais' Headshot two years previously.

A relentless and bone-crunching action thriller, The Night Comes For Us ended on a deliberately ambiguous note with Taslim's Ito driving headfirst into the oncoming gunfire of the Triads. While a sequel could have picked up immediately from there, similar to how The Raid 2 played out, there are no plans to turn the movie into a franchise despite Tjahjanto admitting that he's got plenty of ideas for a follow-up.
