Does anyone remember the remake of Seven Samurai?
The "Magnificent Seven".
Now that was what I'd call a masculine movie, to the extent of parody."Wait a minute..this isn''t FAUX dive, it's just a DIVE!"

Oh yes, Jason Statham... he's good, I enjoy his effort. I guess he is a real action actor. But so far the list is lonely.In da butt.

How about:Originally posted by Pekka
But so far the list is lonely.
Matt Damon - The Bourne Series (4th one comes out 2010).
Daniel Craig - Casino Royale was sick
Mark Wahlberg - Shooter, Max Payne, Four Brothers, Italian Job
Clive Owen - Sin City, Shoot 'Em Up, Inside Man, Children of Men
Hugh Jackman - "Wolverine" comes out next year
Russell Crowe - Look for a grittier Robin Hood in "Nottingham" in 2010
Colin Farrell - He's still out there...somewhere
Bruce Willis - Still making movies; look for "Surrogates" next year (I played a dead SWAT robot, a dead FBI robot, and a dead businessman robot)
Maybe there aren't any "true action stars", but there are great actors who are making great action films."I predict your ignore will rival Ben's" - Ecofarm

Seconded. He could do wooden, emotionless, and spineless perfectly well - sometimes even all at once - but I've never seen him do "good" convincingly.Originally posted by Asher
He was never, ever good
It shocks me to know that he was the one who got Johnny Depp his big break. It seems the protege has eclipsed his master."lol internet" ~ AAHZComment

Re: Nicolas Cage's emotional performance
Sly ain't gone, I hear Rambo is quite good, really 80's non-pansy action.Originally posted by Pekka
Are action movies dead? If not, then who are the action heroes? Sly is gone, Arnie is gone, few never were to begin with. What's happening to the classic 80s genre? We're all about Jude Law these days, like uuuh listen to my accent, look at my blue eyes and feminine features. NO! NO NO NO! Where are the dudes with testosterone, big guns and lots of blazing?! Saying things like "Let's get my laundry" or "let's go to eat" after a shooting event.
Speaking of Law, Robert Downey Jr. has the action bit going, now... As onetime boxxer-turned private eye, Sherlock-something... (Not "Ace" Harding?)I've allways wanted to play "Russ Meyer's Civilization"Comment

Nicholas Cage is a Coppola, Talia Shire's son and Francis Ford's nephew. Its not like it was hard for him to get a connection for his good friend. Depp didn't learn acting from Cage (thank God, too - Depp is my idol).Originally posted by Alinestra Covelia

that is a very Depp-ish quote -- it has that "too cool for school vibe" that he exudes.“I wasn’t interested in acting, I just wanted to earn some money. I figured I’d keep doing it until (the work) ran dry.”The undeserving maintain power by promoting hysteria.Comment

"There’s always the chance you can get away with taking risks for a few movies, and then you’re out on your ear. But I figure, I’ve pumped gas before, I’ve worked construction before. So, I could do it again, what the heck? It’s still miraculous to me that I’ve been able to stick around all these years.""I predict your ignore will rival Ben's" - Ecofarm
