5 Most Violent Action Movies of the Last Decade to Watch if You Loved Havoc (No John Wick)
These bloody modern action masterpieces will definitely appeal to fans of Tom Hardy's character from Havoc.
Gareth Evans action movie Havoc that was filmed back in 2021 has finally hit small screens and already promises to be the main treat for fans of the brutal and bloody action genre.
If you need another share of ultra-violence and gore, but you've already seen his The Raid and don't feel like rewatching John Wick, here are five bloody action gems specifically for fans of the genre.
1. Kill, 2023
Nikhil Nagesh Bhat's film has room for absurd exaggerations, a love affair staged according to all the rules of Indian cinema, and extreme violence with the use of all kinds of stabbing and cutting objects and even a flamethrower.
A fight to the death takes place on a train bound for New Delhi. Amrit's risky journey to save his beloved takes an unexpected turn when criminals break into the train. Now Amrit must not only save his beloved, but also protect all the passengers.
2. The Night Comes for Us, 2018
Timo Tjahjanto, one of the main action directors in Indonesia, decided not only to repeat the success of Gareth Evans' The Raid, but to increase the amount of violence on screen to an unattainable level.
A killer decides to save a girl he was supposed to kill. This leads the man into a war with the Mafia, involving old friends, new enemies and a couple of professional killers.
The Night Comes for Us is worth watching not for the drama or impressive shots, but for the rough, honest action, flavored with the aesthetics of old-school Asian VHS action movies.
3. Hardcore Henry, 2015
The idea of a first-person action movie has been in the air since the first POV cameras appeared. But it was only in 2015 that director Ilya Naishuller realized it.
The resulting Hardcore Henry is one of the most inventive action movies of our time, a wild ride that never gets boring despite the density of its scenes.
Henry wakes up in a military-scientific laboratory for the creation of cyborg humans. All he knows about himself is that he was once married to Estelle, who just brought him back to life. With no time to sort out his past, Henry is forced into a war with Akan, who kidnaps Estelle.
4. Revenge, 2017
Even before The Substance, Coralie Fargeat had established herself as a strong player in the horror field with her debut film, Revenge. The director mixed the rape and revenge subgenre with exploitation to create a dynamic and stunning action film.
Jen is suddenly transformed from a lover into a problem that must be eliminated as soon as possible. The woman falls off a cliff, and while her ex-lover's friends figure out how to get rid of the body, she comes to her senses and sets out for revenge.
5. Monkey Man, 2024
The unnamed man fights in the underground. He wears a monkey mask, earning him the nickname Monkey Man, and makes money by losing fixed fights. He lost his mother as a child and now dreams of revenge.
To do this, he must reach the representatives of high society. In order to realize his plan, the man got a job in a restaurant.
Even before the release, people started calling Monkey Man “Indian John Wick.” But in fact, the plot of the directorial debut of Dev Patel, who personally played the lead role, is almost the opposite of the franchise with Keanu Reeves. This is the story of an ordinary man with a deep trauma who is obsessed with revenge.
