The most intense action movies are heart-pounding works that push their protagonists to the brink, from Kill Bill to First Blood.
Action movies are all about adrenaline, with many entries in the genre often finding new ways to crank the tension to 11. Blockbusters and lesser-known action flicks are filled with legendary heroes and their stories told with the backdrop of unforgettable set pieces that immerse fans in the wild chaos. Sometimes, it’s the sheer scale of the destruction that makes these action films so intense; other times, it’s the precision of a one-on-one fight that can keep audiences glued to their screens.
