10 Action Movie Flops That Deserve A Second Chance

Every 7 years, the world’s top assassins congregate in an unsuspecting locale to duke it out with each other for a $10m prize, unaware they’re being monitored by smarmy Liam Cunningham, who invites rich assholes to bet on the outcome.

The contest must be decades old, with all the romantic locations having played host to previous ventures, because this is Middlesborough’s year, meaning that, in trying to kill each other, the likes of Ving Rhames, Kelly Hu and Ian Somerhalder read tabloid newspapers, drink tea in greasy spoon cafes and complain about the bad food.

Rhames is in it not for the cash but to find whoever’s responsible for killing his old lady, even if it means stealing a tanker and mowing down some innocent people. He flips the tanker, causing a motorway conflagration that’d do James Cameron proud, and emerges with a few cuts and bruises. That’s right – it’s that kind of movie.

A trashy, ridiculous, cartoonish, silly, over-the-top, in-your-face movie, sure, but it’s also a ton of indefensible fun. Disengage brain and enjoy.
