Running Scared.
I was a big fan of Tarantino after seeing "Resevoir Dogs" and "Pulp Fiction". "Running Scared" is certainly in that same vein, and it also reminds me of John Woo's "The Killer". But where this film lacks the dialog of a Tarantino film, it is a lot more visually stylish than anything QT has ever done. There are great transitions, effective dynamic time warping (speed up or slow down a shot, like a bullet flying through the air), and if you thought Maynard, Zed, and the Gimp were bizarre in "Pulp Fiction", wait until you meet the creepy married couple who through their sick hobby make every other evil character in this film look like Buddhist Monks. It's a fast, furiously-paced film, certainly aptly titled. A great cast, beginning with Paul Walker and Vera Farmiga. And certainly the main kids stand their ground, especially Cameron Bright. Also worth mentioning is the end title sequence animated by Gary Hebert. Bottom line, if you were disappointed by films like "Kill Bill" and "Sin City", films you really wanted to like but found them too cartoonishly clichéd, you'll be more than satisfied with "Running Scared". It's sharp and engaging.

Anything with Arnie in it - he's the man! E.g.Total Recall or Running Man
P.S. V for Vendetta is a good film but i's not very action packed. There is some fighting and terrorism, but it's main theme is quite political. It's a film you really have to pay attention to, to appreciate it.

The Boondock Saints is a pretty good action packed movie. Look for a film called Overnight -----the Boondock Saints is an extra added onto Overnight.

Blade Runner with Harrsion Ford - Classic action packed sci-fi. This is the ULTIMATE sci-fi/detective/thriller. One sad note - only the directors cut s available on DVD. If you want the original, which is much better, you may have to rent the VHS! :-(
