Can’t get enough of action movies that will get your adrenaline pumping? This Entertainism article provides you with an ultimate collection of some of the best action movies of the 21st century that have been great entertainers of all time.
Fast cars, wars, gun fights, weapons, martial arts stunts, huge explosions, car chases, shootouts, etc., are common elements seen in any good Hollywood action movie. These elements make the movies so special that they often become more important than the pesky little movie details like script, acting, etc.
Though these movies were not so popular then, with time and men like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone leading the way, many of these movies have transcended their limited genre and have become a timeless charm that defies all reason and logic.
