Best Action, drama, non stop thrill rides

These films have all you would ever want.. good storylines, vengeance, and well choreographed action packed performances.

1. John Wick 2014 - Keanu Reeves plays John Wick ex hitman who is forced to come out of retirement when after losing his wife he is forced to endure the theft of his 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 and his beloved puppy given to him to aid in his grief.  The film is one of Keanu Reeves best and will keep your attention throughout.

2. John Wick Chapter 2 2017 - Keanu Reeves returns as a hitman who goes on the run after a bounty is placed on his head. This movie is packed with even more action than the first and a much bigger dog.  Both films are outstanding and John Wick Chapter 3 Parabellum is scheduled to be released in May 2019.

3.Taken -2008, Taken 2 -2012, Taken 3 -2015  The trilogy of Taken stars actor Liam Neeson as Bryan Mills a former CIA operative.  In the first installment his daughter is kidnapped on a holiday in France with her friend by sex traffickers and Bryan Mills uses his skills to track down his daughter's kidnappers. 

Taken 2 installment begins when the Albanians take revenge on the CIA operative while in Istanbul and kidnap both him and his ex-wife for one of the deaths while saving his daughter when she was kidnapped two years earlier.

Taken 3 installment begins when his ex-wife is murdered and he finds her lifeless body in his apartment. While Bryan seeks to find his ex wife's murderer, he also has to evade the police (Forest Whitaker) who seeks to arrest him.

All three installments are packed with plenty of drama, action, well scripted performances and some of Liam Neeson's best work.

4.  The Accountant 2016 - is a crime thriller action movie and stars Ben Affleck as a CPA with highly functioning autism that makes his living uncooking the books of criminal organizations around the world.  This movie is full of twists and turns and while the movie is very hard to describe it is full of drama and well worth watching.

5.  Honorable Mention -  Mission Impossible 1 -1996, Mission Impossible 2 -2000, Mission Impossible 3 -2006, Mission Impossible 4 -2011 Ghost Protocol,  Mission Impossible 5 -2015 Rogue Nation, Mission Impossible  -2018 Fallout  - Tom Cruise stars as Ethan Hunt a special agent in the IMF (Impossible Mission Force)  in all these action packed films and while I won't go into the dynamics of each film I will say they have a huge following.  I have watched the films but I have never been a true fan of either MI series or the James Bond 007 films..  Although I find both MI and OO7 films to be packed full of drama, espionage, and on the edge of your seat action. However with that being said not every movie is everyone's cup of tea and all of my movie picks are just based on my opinions and I urge everyone to judge these movies for yourself.. 

  
The Matrix Franchise - is a sci-fi action thrill ride franchise about a group of heroes who fight a war against machine overlords that have enslaved humanity in a high tech virtual reality system.. Keanu Reeves stars in this amazing special effect franchise noted for its stop action slow motion effects.. The Matrix 1999, The Matrix Reloaded 2003 and The Matrix Revolutions 2003 all of which were creations of The Wachowskis.. 

I have to be honest much like other high impact action films.. I can say I have watched all of The Matrix films.. however they are not really my type .. I much prefer Keanu Reeves in the John Wick franchise.. I just love the whole concept of the John Wick franchise.. but that being said ..The Matrix has its place in films.. because it incorporates high action, sci fi, fantasy and special effects like no other movies have.. and of course Keanu Reeves is ever so hot in them.. Definitely worth seeing all of them.. Exceptional special effects..
