The HBO Max movie catalog is one of the most complete of all the streaming offerings we currently have. However, if you're not into the classics and you're looking for something more lively and with less dialogue, here are a dozen action movies that you can watch right now on the platform, many of them great works of film history.
These 10 action movies are available on HBO Max
Anyone
A kind of John Wick, but with the big Bob odenkirk as protagonist. An action and revenge movie in which the actor will achieve what he always does: empathize with his character.
M
It is rare that you have not seen this film, but it never hurts to see it for the second, third or nineteenth time. Can one get bored of this genius of George Miller? By the way, the Mad Max original installments are also available on the platform.
Inside Man (Hidden Plan)
Probably Spike Lee's best movie. It all starts with a very ingenious bank robbery by Dalton Russell's (Clive Owen) team where they take all of the branch's customers hostage. There, detective Keith Frazier (Denzel Washington) will have to intervene to prevent the situation from ending in a catastrophe. To his surprise, the kidnappers have a plan that only the bank owner knows about.
Zack Snyder's Justice League
One of the biggest premieres on HBO Max. It took an insistent fight from DC fans putting pressure on Zack Snyder to make his famous 'Snyder's Cut'. And, against all odds, the director did the part for him. If you didn't see the Joss Whedon version, you didn't miss out on the other world either. Of course, prepare a lot of popcorn, because this lasts four hours.
Speed: Maximum power
A young Keanu Reeves plays Jack Traven, a policeman who is searching for the terrorist Howard Payne. The terrorist has planted a bomb in a passenger bus that will explode if the vehicle goes below 80 kilometers per hour. A film full of tricks and truly distressing situations that was made with two Oscar Awards.
V de Vendetta
This adaptation of the work by Alan Moore and David Lloyd to the screen with a script by the Wachowski Sisters will already be 17 years old, but it has aged quite well if we take a look at today. It was quite an underrated feature at the time, but it has gotten better with time like fine wine.
Matrix
And, speaking of the Wachowskis, HBO Max is also the right place if you want to see The Matrix – the original, not the nonsense that we were able to see this past Christmas.
transporter
Both the original and the sequel are currently on HBO Max. This movie catapulted Jason Statham in his role as a for-hire driver who doesn't ask questions of his clients, who are all criminals.
The Seven Samurai
This masterpiece of Akira Kurosawa It is the basis for so many action movies being made today. It doesn't have the frenetic pace of modern cinema, but it is that movie that you have to see yes or yes to understand multiple current references.
Collateral
A great work by Michael Mann in which he directed Tom Cruise and Jaimie Foxx in the roles of contract killer and taxi driver, respectively, with a very intelligent script and really well shot sequences.
