10 Best Geriaction Movies

Rambo

Try as it might it seems that Hollywood just can€™t come up with a credible new generation of action heroes to rival the living gods of old. Sure we have stars like Jason Statham and The Rock doing their best to fly the old school action flag, but in an era loaded with expensive comic book movies and special effect filled blockbusters a meat and potatoes action film is becoming a rare thing. Yet many filmgoers still long for the olden days of one man armies like Steven Seagal or Charles Bronson taking on all comers while barely breaking a sweet and looking mighty cool doing it. That's why in recent years we€™ve seen the rise of films like The Expendables and Taken, where the stars maybe well into their fifties and beyond, but you can still completely buy that they could kick your ass. These are men. Real manly men who eat raw steak and punch rhino's in the face for fun. This new breed of action film has been lovingly dubbed Geriaction and with the release of Red 2, which features Bruce Willis and chums running and gunning while complaining about their stiff joints, it feels like the right time to take a look at the 10 best films this mini genre has to offer.
