So that's a genre? Ok... Gene Hackman comes to mind. Dustin Hoffman and Robert Redford.
That's about it.
Everything Jack Ryan basically. Air Force One, Enemy of the State, Patriot Games,The Assignment, Hidden Agenda, The Firm, Pelican Brief, Hunt For Red October, In The Line of Fire, Patriot Games, The Siege, The Devil's Own, Murder at 1600,
some good suggestions but i think those guys were a little before the 90's
Whats Hidden Agenda like? Its the only one of those ive not seen
*is the best action movie of all time*
That doesn't seem to be broken arrow or face off
Broken arrow is great
hard rain
Speaking of Ford I think Frantic can be added
I once confused it with Ronin
the rock
I am looking for a movie. It's probably set in Paris. But it ends with a car chase. Not Statue of Liberty
john travolta film came out in the 2010 from "paris with love"
The Saint
Conspiracy Theory
Not action but I recommend The Pelican Brief
Absolute Power (thriller not action)
there's fuck all political about peacemaker
i disagree
Def underrated. Another John Woo american film that got censored to hell and was still surprisingly decent
Nevermind, I'm thinking of something else called peacekeeper, where terrorists take over a nuclear missile silo. Peacemaker is the one where he tries to nuke the UN building?
Hunt for red october?
Peacemaker...action packed indeed. The politics part is a little weaker than Jack Ryan series
Jack Ryan series felt tense because the terrorists or radicals felt tense.
Sorry no.
the Sidney Pollack films... would they count? They're not really action films are they?
So I got some post 2000 stuff. I got Nicole Kidman from Peacemaker then I got The Interpreter. Politics not action.
There were some African stuff
Constant Gardener: political but not action.
Blood Diamond: action packed
Then there was an Page Eight. Again political but not enough action.
Then there were a bunch of British/London counter terrorism action flicks. I don't think they are worth checking.
That's really a good list.
From Devil I got IRA. Blown Away
The Assignment > The Jackal
Weird because the jackal got much bigger production value. But not that surprising since the jackal got too many actors in it they all had to look positive and cool
Koreans regularly make political thriller and action.
If you count movies with North Korean spy in...the list will just deviate from the target
Korean was probably the only asian country doing that genre.
Hong Kong was preoccupied with police and gangsters
Thailand...I don't know o don't think they did it
Japan was scared of offending neighbors
The Last Blood 1991
Tibetan monk in exile got assassinated in Singapore by Japanese Red Army
Directed by based Wong Jing
