10 Underrated Action Films You Have To Watch

1. Cliffhanger (1993)

The Rundown
TriStar Pictures

Another underappreciated film from 1993. However, Cliffhanger presents something truly unique from any title on this list and that is its focus on mountain climbing. Some may not care about a climber who is dealing with the guilt of losing someone on a climb gone wrong, but add terrorists and insane stunts into the mix and you have a mountain top thrill ride.

The film literally starts with Stallone attempting to navigate a tightrope - there is no subtly in this film and it is only added to by some suitably hammy dialogue. When the villain of the story, Qualen, states "Kill a few people, they call you a murderer. Kill a million and you're a conqueror", he really means it.

While this film does have its fans, it offers something truly unique and deserves to be held in higher regard.
