"The 2010s weren't just a great decade for action films, but a decade in which action cinema continued to gain credibility and respect. Mad Max: Fury Road was a landmark moment in the history of action filmmaking, instantly praised as one of the greatest films of the 21st Century, and films like John Wick popularized the "gung fu" action style in American filmmaking. There were also franchises like The Raid and Mission: Impossible that were able to keep outdoing their previous installments.
The great thing about action films is that it's a fluid definition; the best action films often intersect with other genres, including comedy, science-fiction, horror, and historical. Often, it is the films that don't fall into the standard molds that are more likely to become underrated, but hopefully they are able to gain visibility and get the credit they deserve."
