Finally some black action star in the making.
We really DESPERATELY need new blood to fill in the actions roles and gap left behind by Wesley Snipes, MJW, Billy Blanks, etc.
Maaaan, I hope this movie does not disappoint like Without Remorse.
Edit:
Speaking of black action stars.... When is season 2 of Gangs of London coming? Maaan, actor Dope Dirisu was superb in his action scenes in season 1.

Seems like MBJ is trying to break into that role.

Without Remorse was DOPE. And it's still doing pretty well on streaming. Why ppl only complain about cliches when it comes to action movies? Things that make you go Hmmmmm...
Sorry, I thought you meant this movie in particular, not his career as a whole
Idk if that means he's not successful
Because action movies are often full of clichés. But I complain about clichés in all types of movies.
Anyway, WR wasn't great IMO. The plot was generic and somewhat predictable
I didnt see WR, don't have an opinion on it.
I have some thoughts on the genre itself though.
Military Action flicks might be even more Director dependent than regular Action movies, which is saying something.
If you took away all the shaky cam, would anybody even like the Bourne movies? Jason Bourne has all the personality of a Zombie. I saw Olympus Has Fallen and I can't remember a single thing about the main character other than him being played by Gerald Butler.
It's a hard genre to stand out in. There's a ton of it already, much of it looks identical and the heroes of these kind of stories don't stand out all that much unless you are counting the over the top stuff like Rambo.
Say what you will about the Cop movie genre, but at least those movies seem to demand that thier protagonists stand out which makes the movies themselves more memorable. They can be bloodthirsty, corrupt, perverted or insane. Sometimes all at once.
Military Action movies tend not to produce roles like Popeye Doyle or Alonzo Harris, that Oscar bait stuff.
Bourne wasn't supposed to have a lot of personality. But he had good action scenes. Frankly, before him, hand to hand action scenes in movies weren't very good IMO outside of martial arts movies
And cop movie characters may stand out but a lot of them tend to have archaic or outdated characterization
This is crazy talk. MBJ is the current GOTO Black actor in Hollywood at the moment(it used to be Idris). When a project is looking for a Black lead, his name is the one that is tossed in the most. They were even about to cast this guy as Superman lol.
It's also heavily encouraged for actors to start producing for more money and control. The Rock and a lot of other big names have started producing their own projects.
There just doesn't seem to be a lot of franchise potential for those action movies anymore, which is probably one reason hollywood doesn't pump them out as much.
Fast and Furious is basically the only action franchise and... that did not happen on purpose lol. It just kinda morphed into it over time.
John Wick is about hte only one at the moment and it wasn't supposed to be! It just did so well they did another and then went "fuck it, let's do 5!"
Hemsworth is gonna try with Extraction but we will see how that goes lol. At least dude is finaly getting a sequel for something. He seemed to give up on the actino stuff after snow white and went comedy instead.
