3 action movies on Max you need to watch in May 2024 | Tech Reader

Furious 7 is ridiculous, over the top, and ultimately incredibly sincere, and it’s that bizarre combination that makes the movie effective. The final five minutes, in which Dom says goodbye to Brian, and we say goodbye to Paul Walker, are some of the most moving in the history of blockbuster filmmaking.

Although The Hunt for Red October is undoubtedly an action movie, it’s also in some ways a political thriller. Adapted from a Tom Clancy novel of the same name, the film follows Jack Ryan as he investigates a rogue nuclear submarine that is headed straight for American waters.

Although the movie is ostensibly about Jack Ryan, though, Sean Connery’s Russian submarine captain really steals the show as he continues to take assertive action without making his motives entirely clear. John McTiernan made plenty of great action movies over the course of his career, but Hunt for Red October may be the most thrilling.

The film tells the story of a young girl raised by wolves who is sworn to defend the forest, which finds itself under threat by townspeople who want to bring industry to their region. While there’s plenty of battles in Mononoke, the film never loses its focus on the central theme of environmentalism that is core to so much of Miyazaki’s work.
