Action film

Action film is a film genre in which one or more heroes are thrust into a series of challenges that typically include physical feats, extended fight scenes, violence, and frantic chases. Action films tend to feature a resourceful character struggling against incredible odds, which include life-threatening situations, a villain, or a pursuit which generally concludes in victory for the hero.

Advancements in CGI have made it cheaper and easier to create action sequences and other visual effects that required the efforts of professional stunt crews in the past. However, reactions to action films containing significant amounts of CGI have been mixed as films that use computer animations to create unrealistic, highly unbelievable events are often met with criticism. While action has long been a recurring component in films, the "action film" genre began to develop in the 1970s along with the increase of stunts and special effects. The genre is closely associated with the thriller and adventure film genres, and it may also contain elements of spy fiction and espionage.

TechRadar 16 Oct 2018

The worry with the M4 is that the finesse and refinement it exhibits with music might make it a bit too gentlemanly and restrained for a full-bore action movie sequence ...

Director Ruben Fleischer on ‘Venom’, Carnage, and Tom Hardy’s Insane Performance

Collider 12 Oct 2018

We actually did very few screenings of the movie because of the protective nature of not wanting a lot of word to get out about the film. So, most of what we learned about the movie was from our own internal process of trying to figure out the relationship between Eddie, and Venom, and wanting to mine that, because I think that’s the core of the movie, is the dynamic between Eddie and Venom ...

Krypton's New Villain Lobo Looks Ready To Tour With Rob Zombie In First Image

Cinema Blend 04 Oct 2018
