The action film genre is often simplistic in premise, but can be seriously effective when executed well. High-octane, fast-paced action with meticulous choreography and daring stunts tends to be very memorable.

However, the Mission: Impossible movies have garnered a reputation for intense action and crazy Tom Cruise stunts, that have ultimately inspired the entire genre.
