15 Most Mindlessly Entertaining Action Movies Ever
1. John Wick
Required Action Hero Line: "People keep asking if I'm back and I haven't really had an answer. But now, yeah, I'm thinkin' I'm back. So you can either hand over your son or you can die screaming alongside him!"
The simplest concept of them all: a former assassin gets revenge. Like, did they even take a lunch at the pitch meeting?
While Keanu Reeves has been steady working since the 80's, he's never really been a highly respected actor. He was a punchline for some of his roles, like in Dracula and The Lake House. He'd led action movies such as the Matrix, Speed, and Point Break. His career was seemingly slowing down in the 2000's, and then 2014's John Wick sucker punched all of us.
Fast forward through multiple sequels, and Reeves is a beloved internet icon. Once a man only known for "woah" and playing former college Quarterbacks...no one will ever F*** with his dog again.
