Hey, action aficionados, did you feel that cosmic rumble? Yeah, it’s not just the stars aligning; it’s the gods of cinema throwing us a bone (or should I say, a bullet) this weekend! With Aries season in full swing, we’re all about that fiery, go-getter energy, right? So, strap in because we’ve got double the action, with a side of vampire funnies in Sinners, but what really’s got us buzzing are the new, yet classic, action-packed flings: The Accountant 2 and Havoc. Whether you’re lying on your couch with a remote in hand or sitting in a sticky theater seat, readiness for a rollercoaster of bullets, biceps, and brilliance. But hang on, does the Aries sun bring out the overly enthusiastic nitpicker in you, or will you be laid back and enjoy these old school rumbles withoutbustling from the plethora of cool the dish?
So, here’s the cosmic question: Will your inner Aries energy favor the grounded, hard-hitting action of The Accountant 2, where each bullet feels like it’s aimed at the heart of ’80s and ’90s cinema? Or will your impulsive, blunt side sway your affections towards Havoc, with its high-octane, swooning ballet of violent absurdity?
Trust me, whether you’re in the theater or in your streaming sanctuary, you’re not going to miss out. Now, go grab some popcorn—or in true Aries style, shake up your routine and splurge on that tub of nachos you’ve been eyeing. Explore these cinematic universes of badassery and mayhem. But beready, because if the stars are right, we’re in for a celestial showdown of action movies this weekend. And honestly, how could we ever decide which one we like better?
Oh, and by the way, did I mention your heart might also Jack Ryan the moon in Leo, making this the perfect moment to reflect (no pun intended, maybe) on your actionhero preferences? So which movie will it be? Go, click that ‘LEARN MORE’ below for…more…? Or, go ahead and make your choice in the comments, and don’t forget to share this fiery weekend lens into your action cinema ‘in. Now, go on and make your house or theater shake – after all, what’s life without a bit of havoc, eh? LEARN MORE.
What a weekend this is for action fans! Not only is Ryan Coogler’s bone-crunching vampire horror/action hybrid Sinners still playing to packed theaters, but the movie gods have given us two brand-new, but nicely old-fashioned run-and-gun action movies to entertain us this weekend—one on streaming – and one in theaters. So, regardless of whether or not you make it to a theater this weekend, you’re guaranteed a rip-roaring good time.
That said, these are two different kinds of action movies. The Accountant 2, in addition to being a sequel, is much more in the vein of American action movies from the 80s and 90s. It’s the kind of movie a guy like Mel Gibson would have made in his heyday, with someone like Richard Donner directing it. By contrast, Havoc is firmly entrenched in the Hong Kong action style of the same period, with it very much in the mould of a John Woo/ Chow Yun-Fat flick. Havoc has a body count in the hundreds, while The Accountant 2 keeps things a little more earthbound (although I’d wager Affleck and Bernthal each kill at least a dozen baddies each in the climax).
Of the two, I preferred The Accountant 2. While I think Gareth Evans is an amazing action director, his corny script and dialogue muddle what’s otherwise a brilliantly executed piece of action filmmaking. By contrast, The Accountant 2’s dialogue and characterization are a highlight. But hey, what do I know? Let us know in the comments what you thought of both of this week’s new action flicks, and while you’re at it, take the poll below and let us know which one you think is better. With Thunderbolts on the way and Sinners in theatres, at least we won’t be lacking big-screen action anytime soon!
