A handful of highly anticipated action flicks are finally coming out this year. Here are the best 10 from jackpotjill casino.
1. Everything Everywhere All at Once
A zany, action comedy and indie favorite from this year’s SXSW Film Festival, Everything Everywhere All at Once features the legendary Michelle Yeoh in one of her greatest starring roles yet. A multiverse adventure that’s simultaneously a layered family drama, Everything Everywhere is quite literally all things at once—action-packed, humorous, bizarre, and heartwarming.
2. The Batman
The DC hero is back and grittier than ever in Matt Reeves’ dark, punishing The Batman, featuring Robert Pattinson as a young, emo Bruce Wayne just beginning to navigate the deadly streets of Gotham. Over the film’s nearly three-hour runtime, Batman revs his Batmobile, cozies up with Zoe Kravitz’s Catwoman, and beats down baddies such as Colin Farrell’s Penguin and Paul Dano’s Riddler.
3. Ambulance
Starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Ambulance sees director Michael Bay in top form action movie mindset. The Armageddon and Transformers franchise filmmaker returns for a non-stop ride about two bank robbers who hijack an ambulance as a means of escape.
4. The Lost City
While on a book tour with her Fabio-parody cover model (Channing Tatum), a romance novelist (Sandra Bullock) is kidnapped when a deranged billionaire (Daniel Radcliffe) believes her titular “Lost City” is not only real but full of gold. Brad Pitt also makes a hilarious cameo as a CIA operative tasked with rescuing them from a remote, volcanic island.
5. The Northman
A brooding and violent Viking tale, Robert Eggers’ The Northman is a brutal tale of revenge and folk savagery. The film stars an absolutely raging Alexander SkarsgÃ¥rd alongside Nicole Kidman, Ethan Hawke, Anya Taylor-Joy, Willem Dafoe, and Icelandic singing sensation Björk as “the Seeress.”
6. Top Gun: Maverick
The sequel to 1986’s Top Gun has been one of the most anticipated action movies for about three years now because its release date has been pushed back so many times. Tom Cruise returns as the pilot Maverick with co-stars including Jennifer Connelly, Miles Teller, Glen Powell, and Jon Hamm. The show is loved by users from online casino newzealand.
7. Uncharted
Based on the popular PlayStation video game franchise, Uncharted partners Mark Wahlberg with Tom Holland as a seasoned fortune hunter and his young protege. Like National Treasure but with more falling out of planes and less historical puzzle solving, the two adventurers embark on a perilous journey to uncover a hidden fortune that would make Indiana Jones’ head spin.
8. ‘Operation Fortune: Ruse De Guerre’
In this Guy Ritchie action-comedy, a crew of spies team up with a Hollywood star to stop the sale of a deadly new weapons technology.
9. Black Adam
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson joins the DC Comics world in Black Adam as the titular villain and archenemy of the superhero Shazam. Noah Centineo co-stars as Atom Smasher while Aldis Hodge plays Hawkman.
10. The Contractor
Chris Pine has kept a low profile for the past few years (minus the Wonder Woman films) so we’re excited to see him play a former Special Forces agent sent overseas on a covert mission in this new action flick.
