Action movies that never let up
High stakes, a pace that does not apologize, and two hours that go by in a blink.
Tension is the whole craft here. The plot exists to keep you leaning forward, and the best of them get your heart rate up before the first act is over.
Lights Down calls this The Thrill Seeker
You want your pulse in it.
It's a physical standard, and a film either clears it or it doesn't. You want stakes that keep climbing, a pace with no soft middle, and things going wrong at exactly the worst moment. A careful film that never gets you off the couch is one you'll call fine and forget. You're not watching for later, you're watching for right now.
